Potty Training - any advice?

Ok so yes, i have been shamed for not potty training my 2 yr old. She just doesnt seem to care, shes sat on a potty since turning 2 and has done the occasional wee/poo with alot of praise but doesn't understand the concept of "i need a wee, i must go to the potty" she will sit on their for 15mins but because she wants to not because she has to go. Tomorrow after the shame from nursery and starting school in sept, I am attempting another day of no nappies. Any advice ladies? Anything would help right now. Planning on fri to sun no nappies (apart from bed) alot of water, alot of praise and no negativity with accidents. Help!!!! I need it to click this time

I'm sorry you've been shamed and hope you are okay. I know this might not be an idea others would agree with but my little one liked the whole process of getting rid of what he had done in the potty down the toilet, flushing the loo, hands washed, little celebration when it was all done. He also took to it more once I kept the potty in one place with a book about using the potty next to it. Hope all goes well xxx

Thanks both, im ok, it doesnt bother me that much i actually laughed a little, didnt think it was such a big deal! ill try anything right now, 2 in nappies is hard work 😪 x

I bet it's hard with two. You're doing amazing whether potty training happens now or not. xxx

I only potty trained my 2 year old about a month or so ago only because I’m expecting another little one and I couldn’t stand the smell of a diaper. I really don’t believe in rushing a baby , they are all bound to use the potty after all. It’s all about u n baby being comfortable.

No advice but following cause I'm in the same situation. Daughter turns 3 in August and has no interest in learning to use the potty.

Nobody should be shaming you.. every child is different. My little girl is 3 next month and she has only been Potty trained for a couple of months. I wouldn't put to much pressure on your little one she will do it when she is ready😄 I was the same with her, kept trying to get her to use the potty etc, she would use it every now and again but not constantly, then suddenly one weekend she just done it! So don't worry and don't listen to anyone else x
