The best part is I've forgotten it. (After only a few years.) But SOMEHOW, my kids started taking care of these matters on their own. You WILL get out of this stage. <BR/><BR/>I was SO glad to see someone else old enough to have loved David Cassidy on the featured SITS post today!

Our biggest effort was what we lovingly called "The Poop Basket." It was full of fun toys that he desperately wanted, but could not have unless he pooped ON the potty. Now and then he'd do it and get one, but 95% of the time, it was in his pants. Finally, we promised him a goldfish if he did it. Low and behold, one day, he just GOT IT. The heavens opened up, shined upon us, and we were free of the nightmare from that day forward. Plus, he got a fish, which made him pretty happy.<BR/>Good luck -- hopefully your little girl will just "get it" like our son.Merriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18232094993595976704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716234011471916906.post-89719637269139969302008-06-12T07:57:00.000-07:002008-06-12T07:57:00.000-07:00know that you are not alone-there are many moms ou...know that you are not alone-there are many moms out there in blogland who are struggling with this. My kids are all potty trained, my youngest 4, she was a pain, she would do what your little one would do. So, I took off her panties, made her go naked-she hated that, she wanted her clothes back-i told her clothes are for those who go potty.<BR/>We also made up a potty song. She love to sing silly songs, so we threw a silly potty song into the mix, she like it. We would practice and practice the song until she knew it. then I would hum it, when I figured she would have to go to the potty. She would start to sing it, I wouldn't let her sing it cause it was the POTTY song-you can only sing when you are going potty. She thought this was dumb a couple of times until everyone in our family would sing the potty sing while they were on the potty, they she wanted to sing it really bad. So-basically it got to the point where she would hold it till she was going to burst, and she wanted to sing the song. So, i would take her hand and we wold start singing the potty song on the way to the potty, i would put her on the potty by then we were both singing, then she would go potty! I gave her a sticker on the party chart-made a big huge deal, called granmda and grandpas everyone who would be exctied for her. It was a big deal. She knew it! So-we would continue the routine minus calling everyone we knew, it seemed to work. this would only work with a girl who loves to be the center of attention and has to have her clothes on-<BR/>so make her naked<BR/>sing the potty song<BR/>voila!<BR/>Really, I hope this helps you,it helped us so much!!!Taushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132962343851092154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716234011471916906.post-25714079748051985862008-06-10T18:42:00.000-07:002008-06-10T18:42:00.000-07:00Hey, don't be the least bit embarrassed that she's...Hey, don't be the least bit embarrassed that she's four!

At this age she is learned all the moments in time it takes to get you to do her bidding and you are so close to the forest it is difficult to see if the bear does do its thing in the woods. LOL. <BR/><BR/>I do understand the frustration. Maybe you need to go to Dr. Pill and look at his past discussions of his technique to overcome this. BTW, I do not normally like Dr. Pill.George, Group Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782383736396948046noreply@blogger.com
