So what's the potty training strat? My kid's totally defiant, refuses to even entertain the idea of using the toilet. They've got their own special one with a pretend flusher and a special seat to sit on the big toilet. We're closing in on 3 years old here and I'm sick of changing poop
We kept our little potty in the living room and that helped a lot. We switched to pull ups for a time. I also had a rolling 20min timer so I could check in with kiddo about going. We would put a movie on so they could sit and watch. We eventually moved to special thick underwear that could handle a little leak.
We would have her sit, and we'd pull up entertaining videos on tiktok, just anything to distract while she sat. The constant check ins helped too.
We got a potty watch and awarded with treats. A potty watch is basically just an alarm they wear on their wrist that goes off every hour or so to remind them to go try.
We are ramping up to start doing this with our second actually.
Need one of these for work lol
Lol, our oldest has ADHD and honestly, he probably still needs one. I just had to tell him to go to the bathroom because he was dancing around while trying to play video games.
Going to try this for sure
