potty training 3 year old

[lazsmith]

My son is doing great with potty training. My daugher started the beginnign of January and does alright but, lately has been having more and more accidents - am I wrong if I go back to pull-ups? What do I do to get her to go potty more often? I try to take her every 30-60 minutes and it's getting so frustrating. It doesn't even seem to bother her that much when she's wet - dirty yes, but not wet.

Any advise.

I don't think it's wrong to go back to pull ups at all. She's clearly not ready. You are getting frustrated. And trips to the potty every 30-60 minutes are going to make both of you nuts. I would take a month off and then try again and see what happens.

My son trained really early, on his own for the most part, at 2.9! Within two weeks he was fully day-trained and a month later he was overnight too! My daughter kept telling me that she would use the potty when she was 3. Well, their 3rd b'day rolled around and she didn't. But it was at 3.1 when we were visiting friends for an overnight and she pooped on the potty!!! Crazy. She'd never been to this house before and had never pooped on the potty before. About a week later she was fully trained and her overnight training happened almost simultaneously.

YOu just never know when it's going to kick in. I would relax about it for now. THat's great that your son is doing so well. Enjoy that (hey, half as many changes now, right?), and your daughter will come along when she's ready.

Good luck!
