So my daughter’s been doing good and doing peepee on the peepee (toilet) but somehow she won’t do potty on the peepee. She is either constipated trying to not to go since we try to put her on the toilet or goes in her jaama (pajama). Is this common/normal? We thanked our imaginary friend god when she had fewer and fewer accidents and now almost 95% of the time (just pulled this stat out of the air) does peepee on the peepee and usually have peeing accidents only when she’s busy in an activity that she doesn’t want to stop. e.g. listening to meewsevik (music) last evening and wetting my lap but otherwise everything is going smooth except the potty part.
How do we make her do potty on the peepee and not in her jaama or carpet or mamma’s hands or paapa legs?
We noticed the similar behavior, I think in both of our daughters. They were Ok for pee but potty training was hard. I guess its because they have to put pressure to do potty and that was making them feel that they might fall inside the commode. I know that because one of my daughters shared that fear with me once. Best thing is to stand in front of them and make them lean forward and hold you (or hug you) when they are sitting on the pot. That makes them feel secured and it would be easy on them to do potty.
oh so that's what it is. So did the hugging work in your case? How long it took from peepee trained to potty trained in your kids' case? Does it take weeks or months?
Roman, placing a stool under their foot also helps them to redirect the pressure on their feet making it easier for the release of the potty [sorry ]. This worked really well for my girls as well.
How old is she? She might not be ready yet.
I tried really hard to potty train my daughter at 2 years..... but she resisted and resisted..... I just gave up.
Then, just before she turned 3, I tried again and she got fully potty trained in 3 days, including nights.... it was amazing.
Take her shopping for a nice potty seat (her favorite cartoon character), let her select it and use that alongwith a stool for her feet, that helps .... she also won't be scared of falling into the toilet.
Also try the sticker reward system, every time she goes potty in the toilet, she gets a sticker. It worked very well with my sister's son who was also having issues with going potty (not pee, he was fine with that). My sister told him she would get him a new toy he wanted after he earned 10 stickers, it worked like a charm :)
My daughter will be three soon. She’s definitely ready. When we go out we put on a diaper for her because we don’t know if we’d have toilet available and don’t want her to control peeing too much at this point. We also put diaper on her at night. No pull ups. We were told by someone that pull-ups are just like diapers and until the kid would have few accidents, she won’t learn to want to do peepee on the toilet. But I gotta try that stool thing too. And the hug.
Oh the horror of going through all this in two years again when my son would be of the age! We’re hoping he learns from his sister and be a good boy and kinda hop on to it all by himself.

Actually, pull-ups do help.... give them a try. Cool alerts help as they make your child feel uncomfortable.
Its also easier for the child to pull them down when she needs to go.
Make sure she has something under her feet, that she can push off of.Its hard for them to go potty with their legs dangling in the air. Also , this makes them feel a little more secure.
And pull-ups do help, especially at the stage your daughters in. They feel more like underwear (or underwader lke my son calls it). I normally have gone through a box of pull-ups with both of them before they are fully ready. Also , I would suggest, taking it all off , even at nights , except when your going somewhere where a toilet would be hard to find.
Putting a diaper on at some times, and then taking it off at others is what confuses them.
Roman, so you have a son now too ? congratulations man !!
We never had problems wiht potty trainings ..she learned in 2-3 days .... but she was used to seeing kids in kindergarten do it in the toilet that she was eager to learn too.
Stool idea seems to be winner here...I am happy to report that she's gone poty'ing on the peepee twice in past 24 hours using the stool method...let's hope it continues like that since my daughter is a little moody.
We use kiddie underwears for her instead of pull-ups and so far besides the few accidents here and there, there hasn't been any problem. We send off few extra jaamas to her daycare and if there is an accident they change it. I guess every child is different...some learn in few days others take few weeks or even months.
Thing with not putting diaper at night is that if we won't put diaper on her at sleep time then one of us would have to wake up to take her to the bathroom and we can use all the sleep we can get these days..so far diaper-at-sleep-time method has been working just fine. Actually I've to change her diaper once at night/early morning and usually when she wakes up and still has diaper on and she has to go to peepee, she'll ask me to to go to peepee instead of going in the diaper so that's telling at this point she prefers toilet over diaper.
but otherwise everything is going smooth except the potty part.
