My dd has just turned 4. Potty training has been the most horrible experience EVER. She is a bright, chatty, sociable little thing but would not stop what she was doing and go to the toilet.
Day times have been really good for the past few months and we have got down to only having to remind her a couple times a day . She will still be clutching herself, jigging around and refusing to go to the toilet! So I guess REALLY she isn't potty trained yet?
As for night times she CAN go all night but will lay in bed in the morning and wee rather than getting up and going across the gall to the toilet. We also leave both doors open. The other night
she soaked her pull up,
pjs and sheets but was laying
there smiling away when I
went to get her up. I kind of exclaimed at the vast
soakage as I went to get into
bed with her to give her a
cuddle. She then told me
not to worry as she doesn't mind it!
I'm pretty much at my wits end here as she clearly is not fazed by being wet.
We have used a sticker chart for daytimes where she gets a sticker and a jelly bean if she goes to the toilet off her
own steam as she went ages
where she would not go
without being told after she
announced she needed the
toilet.
I'm very concerned that it's gone on do long. Especially as she starts full time school in September and I'm not absolutely convinced she
will take herself to the toilet...EVER.
I really am at the end of my tether here as this seems to be dragging on for way too long. I have no clue what to try next or where to turn.
Any words of wisdom/advice would be very appreciated!
