AUTHOR: namos
Hello namos, if i can keep it real I will be the first to tell you she is playing you and wants to see how far she can get with the pampering.First no brivary,no tricks the only tricks is sit her on the potty first thing in the morning 7am and let her stay there for atleast 30min and she will get tired of that,and do this every time she drinks something like 15min later after sit her on the potty for 30min again,let her wear underwear all day and make sure when she plays she is right in front of you all day and if she tries to sit down just direct her attention to something else that requires her to stand up,then if she tries to leave the room turn on a barney tape or something to distract her,last but not least you have to let her know that you know she can go potty,she will get tired of trying to hold all that urine in after a while either she will say she has to go,go towards the restroom,or do it in front of you and if she does it in front of you and starts crying then she is playing you cause she knows she could have went,if she does it and says nothing then she isn't ready and doesn't know what's going on.hopefully she will wet her undies,and then you talk to her and just say do you have to go potty,point to the underwear and say potty,potty,potty and maybe she will get the hint.sorry to mess up the floor but it will only happen that once,if you can get the hang of it before its ready to come out....good luck.
