Potty Training Woes
Forum member, Michelle recently posted on the forum about how she was having problems getting her youngest to potty train completely.
Seems many moms have had this same problem and though their toddler will urinate in the potty, they seem to have trouble with having a bowel movement in the potty. Here are a few suggestions other moms have given Michelle.
I'd say just be patient. Some of them catch on a bit quicker than others.
Maybe try sitting her on the potty every 30 minutes during the time of day she normally has a bowel movement.
I'd let her sit and read on the potty...that way she could just sit there.
You might want to try using a portable small kiddy potty or the potty seat thing that you put on the adult toilet, so they can hold onto it...this would help tremendously!
Visit the forum to see more suggestions along with a very interesting technique that one of our moms heard about while searching for information on potty training. Feel free to share any suggestions or just stop by and let Michelle know she’s not alone and this too shall pass here.

I was very frustrated as well with potty training. When I was researching potty training a common theme seemed to be praise and positive reinforcement. I came across a website called www.pottytrainingrewards.com. We hung it in the kitchen and named the little boy on the front of the package, Bobby. My son could not wait to go to the potty so he could push the button, hear the praising message, and get his chocolate reward from, Bobby. It really got my son excited about using the potty himself and it was fun for him. Because he became so involved, potty training was easy. So give it a try.
