resistant potty training

by bsb30, May 23, 2008 04:14PM
My daughter is 3yrs and 3mos.  We have been working on potty training for about a year now.  She will ask "to go" when we are out of the house, but when we are home, I always have to place her on the potty.  Also, when we were on vacation, she was completely potty trained #1 & #2.  

She goes #2 every day at the same time, but waits until I put her in a pull-up at nap time.  If I put her on the potty, she will withhold until she gets constipated.  

I know this is a control issue for her, but it is starting to become unacceptable because she knows what she is doing.  I'm getting so frustrated and fear I'll be losing my cool very soon!

Charts, candy, stickers, icecream, movies, are not motivating her, but she is addicted to TV.  She only gets an hour a day, but she looks forward to it.  I'm wondering if I take the TV away, if this will motivate her to earn it back.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Beth

If TV is what motivates her, only let her watch when she goes on the potty.  If she goes #2, you could let her watch more, like a whole Dora cartoon.

Good luck and God bless.
