Is she ready for toilet training???.

My daughter is 19 months old. Recently she insists on going to toilet. She holds her nappy from outside and keeps yelling ‘shia kiya’. Should I toilet train her.

I don’t know how to start. Should keep her in toilet till she does ‘shia’ and than she will know about it .

I am confused!!!

Re: toilet training

go for it. she seems to be ready for it.

buy a small "trainer" toilet for kids and have her sit on that or use a kiddy toilet seat.

Try having her sit on it and do clapping and loud yayyys for her if she pees/potties in the kiddie toilet. I had my then 15 month old start and she caught on within a couple ofdays that she is supposed to go in the kiddie toilet.What she hasnt gotten figured out yet is that she should only go in the toilet and not anywhere else :bummer: For some reason mine did really well onthe potty and then transgressed so are taking a break.

yup.. go for it... since she knows what is pee and what is poo, she will knwo she is bout to go... tell her to tell you when she needs to go, or to go and stand in teh washroom and call you there...

i started with my son when i realized he has a routine.... pees first thing in the morning, poos after bfast and then after dinner

so i put him on the pot at these times and every hour on the hour to catch his pee since you cant tell when your kid is bout to pee... slowly he realized that is where you are meant to do it... plus..i didnt make it look like anything out of the ordinary... since i didnt make a hoopla out of it, neither did he and just did his business....

oh and..... i did show him that we do it too... by sitting on the toielt seat and explaining that we pee and poo there too. i didnt buy the potty cuz i just thought its silly to train him for a potty and then retrain by putting him on the actual seat... so i just bouth a footstep with an attatched potty seat that fits right on the toielt seat.. toddler can self climb and sit with no help from grown up ... he loves it cuz he copies us.. if he can drink like a grown up, he can surely pee like a grown up in teh grown up toilet chair.

we still have accidents but very rare... he is now mashallah 15 months and i started when he was around 1

Yeah I would say go for it. My daughter is 18 months MasAllah and she is half way trained. If you start now slowly she'll learn to go there by herself. Why don't you get her one of the potty training products?

Re: toilet training

I guess most kids talked about here are around 1.5-2 yrs. Mine is 15 mths old and though she doesn't tell us about pishi/potty, she has started crouching on the floor when she feels the need to. I have tried putting her on, as well as explaining to her the use of kiddie toilet but she runs away from it.

dont force.... it will backfire. let it go.. and come back to it after a bit... and yes.. its a bit hard to potty train in winter... babies and toddlers pee like mad... even grown ups do... :D
