Help! Tips or advice on how to Potty Train a toddler?

I have a 27 month old I am going to start potty training her. I just bought her a small potty. She's my first kid so I need tips or suggestions on how to start potty training her? Your advice would be greatly appreciatedHelp! Tips or advice on how to Potty Train a toddler?
Find something she really likes to reward her and plan for a few days straight to stay on top of the training. Ask her every few minutes if she needs to go.





Reward her, and make a big deal if it works.





For failures do not scold or punish but let her know your disappointment.





Help her go often even if nothing happens. If you go often enough and sit on the toilet it may happen once.





Don't make sessions too longwhen nothing happens.





See if you can find a picture book at the library t o fully explain what you want her to do.





If it doesn't work after a while consider waiting a few months.Help! Tips or advice on how to Potty Train a toddler?
If she is ready, she will let you know by telling you ahead of time when she has to go or did go. And likely she will emulate using the toilet. Whatever you do, don't force it.
well i am a nanny and i am potty training a little gurl i watch now.....make going on the potty excitng.....like if she go's on the potty say YAY!!!...and give her a prize like a little peace of candy.......and say how good she is doing...........i do it and it works REALLY good
Potty training in the spring or summer is much easier since the clothes are lighter, easier to remove and there are less of them. It's also easier to let them run around the house or yard without trousers or diapers. With my girls, I waited until the spring they turned 3 and then took them shopping for underwear of their choice. They didn't like the feeling of wetting themselves and learned very quickly when they needed to use the potty! I tried the pull up type diapers, but they are still absorbant and my kids would use them like regular diapers. We only used them for travelling just in case of an accident. We also used reward systems like little candies or stickers on a chart. Remember that just because a child is trained during the day, it may take longer to stay dry at night or naptime.
Firstly dont ever assume that your child doesn't understand. Work on the fact that your daughter can understand and you will get a more positive response and reaction.





Make sure the potty is comfortable and explain everything to your child in advance so that she knows what is going on and why.





If need be read your child a story whilst they are sitting on the potty if they get restless but never force a child to stay on.





At your daughters age it shouldn't take long too long, so long as you are consistant you should be fine.





Good luck!
