Potty Training:So Hard

We have been trying to get Valerie to use the potty, but she refuses to use it. She does seem interested in the potty chair. She'll say "Mommy, I need to go potty." She would pull down her diaper and sit on the potty but she won't use it, when she really gotta go. She's 2 & 1/2 years old and we're ready to ditch her diapers for good. After many unsuccessful potty training attempts, we just gave up. Potty training is a big deal and it's going to be a long battle. Perhaps, we have to be more patience.

I'm running out of patience! Maybe it's time to try bribery?

so what happened after she sits on the potty then?? does she just get back up??

she'll sit on it for 10 seconds and say "I did it!"

hmm....did you try putting her on the potty every 30 minutes instead of waiting for her to say she needs to go? one of my coworker trained her children that way...

Jayden also get to play with one of his toy too when he is sitting on the potty -- otherwise he will not is sit long enough for anything to happen.
