Today was frustrating. She's beginning to tell me when she needs to go, but we didn't have a single trip to the potty where she actually made it to the potty. She was actually upset that she didn't make it. No pressure here!

Any suggestions for encouraging her? I can't give her stickers, she still eats them.

I'm not going to comment further on my choice of diaper. It's not an issue in this thread. We're discussing potty training.

I assume if I suggest candy instead of stickers, it would be handing out a new battering ram.

It sounds like the regression week. That happens very often. I would liken it to "beginners luck" with a new sport. You think you are a natural, than you get lost in the mechanics like everyone else.

The good news would be, fumbling 'pottiers' usually get back on track within a few days. Some moms have told me this is when their child seems to get emotionally stuck. But your daughter sounds like she's just frustrated that things aren't going perfectly.

Sometimes, not often, I motivate my kids by promising to buy them a wonderful gift. At three they think a five-cent item is wonderful. But it could be something she treasures as a reminder of all that she accomplished. (Beanie, etc.)

Or, keep reminding her all day long, to concentrate on what she feels, and soon she will be able to tell when its time to 'go.' Maybe, go over the feelings she was having just before the accident as well.

Good luck (Again!)
