potty woes

[HeatherPrins]

so my daughter turned 4 in jan and still is not potty trained, nor is she even remotely interested in being potty trained. She's so different in that way from when my older two were little. So today i put her in cloth training pants to help her feel wet when she goes and hopefully she won't like that feeling too much. Any other suggestions?

Treats lots of them? Each time. Big present...something that she wants if she does it consistently? Special underwear? (As you can tell I'm big into bribery! LOL) Hang out with other kids that she adores...who are potty trained.
Oh I feel for you Heather. Kids. They are all so very different. No rhyme or reason to it. Is there?

My daughter was having a similar problem with my GD. She bought fancy Pull-ups that have stars and hearts and stuff on them.. as long as they are dry they show once they are wet the design goes away. It's worked pretty good with her.. after the first day she figured out what was going on and is doing pretty well with them now

oh my goodness, she was so ready. She has had 3 accidents today but while i was preoccupied getting ready for work, she went to the potty all by herself and wiped!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is doing great for her first day!!!

Hooray Heather! We struggled with potty training with our oldest daughter for a year...then finally did what you did and it worked! Our girls loved stamping an ink stamp on a piece of paper for each success (the little things, right?!)
So glad that she is getting the hang of it!!

oh potty training is oh sooo hard! We jsut got our almost four year old done. We used lots and lots of bribery. He got an m&m each time he even sat on the potty and he got a little handful of skittles when he went number 2 (those are his favorite). Then we told him once he went a week with little to no accidents he could go pick out his choice of any toy from WalMart (this one was risky cause we didn't have a price limit or anything. We got lucky and he just wanted a few legos, lol). GL girly! This really is sooooo hard!

well we have begun day 2 and so far no more accidents than the 3 early on yesterday. She even stopped while playing and went to the potty again last evening! Cross your fingers for me that we are on a roll!
