How Will I Give Potty Training To 3 Year Old?

my 3 year old is just not interested in potty training. I have been using pull ups and put her in panties. I say she still submissively pee s, like she not aware she needs to go. she doesn t care if she poops or pee s but hates being changed. she throws fits. I don t know what else to do to get her potty trained. I ve tried putting her on potty every 15 minutes and she will hold it until nap time and bed. PLEASE HELP.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I can understand, Patience always pays. Children are always reluctant to learn new habits and to change old habits. When parents try to train them they always should use some sort of reward in order to get the children trained.

By now you almost know when the child wants to evacuate. Otherwise, make logbook entries of her such patterns. Once you have an idea from one week, you can start training procedure. On approximate time, you should introduce her into the toilet itself. Introduce the potty there. Be there with her and never allow her to get up or leave the potty even if she cries. Once she starts crying, she should evacuate, because pressure does the trick. Make the toilet appear like her play room. Continue this for a week.

Good luck. Take care.
