Does anyone have any potty training advice?
We have been ‘potty training’ our 4 year old for 2 years now. She’s in undies full time and poops on the potty just fine (we havent had a poop accident since we started potty training, she does that all independently) but she wets her pants almost daily. I feel like Ive tried everything at this point. We’ve done rewards, we’ve done charts, we’ve done timers and watches, and she just refuses. She can do it all independently and seems to recognize when she has to go as she does a ‘potty dance’ but she just flat out wont. And if I suggest she go (because I can obviously see she needs to) she has a melt down. I try really hard not to get upset with her, but often times the only way I can get her to sit on the potty is if I threaten consequences. And I know that sounds terrible, but I truly try my very very best to avoid it, I will try for 30 or 40 min with gentle reminders, offering rewards, etc and she will throw a fit at each reminder and refuses until I threaten a consequence for not going or she wets her pants.
Im to the point that Im wondering if its a medical condition or we have some suspicion she may have adhd. She doesnt seem to have any aversions to the bathroom as she poops fine in the toilet. And Im getting desperate as she starts preschool in the fall and they’re supposed to be fully potty trained, which she is, if she would just sit on the potty.
Anybody experienced anything similar?
