Hi all.
Could do with a bit of help with the potty business.
My 2 year old decided a few months back that she wanted to use the potty, which was great as i'd not long had my 2nd and the timing was spot on, and more to the point she decided she wanted to get the potty out.
All was fine, until a few weeks later she decided enough was enough, and the potty was in fact a bad thing.
I know logically that she will do it again when she wants to, but i think she did so well to have done it, and i'd love to build that confidence back up in her, and encourage it to be a good thing, but she's having none of it. And none of this was helped by the fact she developed a sore area, and seemed to complain of it less with a nappy and cream on, so I started putting nappies back on her.
It would be loads easier for our general day to day if she would use the potty, I dont know what i can do.
I dont really want to try the hard approach, and do it the potty way or no way, dont want to put her off it anymore than she has done herself, but the positive encouragment doesnt seem to be working either. Think it may just be a losing battle... any hints to try would be appreciated tho, even if it does fail, at least ive tried xx
