potty training

I have a 2-1/2 year old daughter.  She initially started using the potty when she was about 23 months old.  She used regular panties and she did great.  Sometimes she would have an occasional pee pee accident.

Well, we went on vacation though and used pull ups on the airplane in her carseat because we flew from NY to California.  Well the whole trip was awful (in terms of potty training, she totally regressed).  When we came home I just started leaving her underwear off so she could see when she was going to go.  Then when I would go out I used pull ups.

Well currently at 30 months old she never tells me and has many accidents.  I am so frustrated.  I am lucky to stay at home with her so I just try and remind her(although after reading you ebook I realize I have been asking her if she has to go, not reminding her to tell me)

Also I never tried nighttime potty training!  I feel like I wish I would have learned of this book soooooo many months ago.

I actually downloaded www.thepottytrainer.com and tried that last week.  Well she is worse.  By worse I mean she has always pooped in the toilet(since 23 months old) and never had poop accidents.  When I said regressed earlier I meant pee only.  Well yesterday after trying the methods from thepottytrainer, she had a poop accident.  This other book recommends MAKING them go potty by a timer.  Even if they are crying and screaming to force them.

So now I plan to just let her wear her underpants and follow your nighttime training method.

Then wait 30 days to try yours as you recommend.

I am a dwarf (3 feet 9 inches tall) and I walk with crutches so it is not easy to carry her quickly too far.  I have been using multiple little potty chairs for her.  I have a potty chair in the family room and one in the living room.  So we just usually use the closest potty depending on where we are in the house.  If we are in the bathroom or near the bathroom we use the regular toilet with a potty insert.

Can I continue doing this while using your method?

Also since we have had such a long go of this, do you have any other recommendations?

Thanks so much!

p.s.
I have to say thank you again because I was so uncomfortable with the other methods from www.thepottytrainer.com it just seems so negative.  Today was just awful she has more accidents after following this method than she ever had!!!!!!!  I am so happy to have your book now.  THANKS!!!

Question: Hi I was wondering if anyone has used the 3 day potty training ebook by Lora Jensen. Did it work?

Answer: the doctors i use to work with used it told everyone in the office how wonderful it was. he even started recommeding it to the patients. other coworkers bought the book and it worked for them as well. its a simple concept. if you devote those 3 days to the potty training it does work. (given that the child is ready and old enough). i used the basic methods in the book and my son was potty trained over a 3 day holiday weekend. good luck…it really does work

Lora,

I’m sure you get positive emails every day, but I wanted to let you know how effective your potty training program has been for us! It’s pretty amazing to see, in as little as 3 days, the transformation your “big kid” can have…Alex was still in diapers on Friday and now only has the occasional “poopy skids” in his underwear. He is so proud of himself each time he goes I almost feel badly for my friends who have been potty training for months now; my husband and I were dreading it, but your program made it so easy and we thank you…. Thanks again….for the great program and being able to email you with questions…we will definitely use your ebook with our next child when that time comes!

Hi Its Twilla again Thank You so much for your response and so quick.  The night time and nap time is not a problem at all, he wakes up every morning and at his 3 hour nap dry and we go to the potty like clock work.  The first  book I purchased was the pottytrainer.com  by Johanne Cesar which was a 87 page book!  Very disappointing!  The book was cheaper to purchase than yours but like I said I had to print a 87 page book from my printer, and trust me your book was well worth the money….

Thanks
Twilla

I just wanted to share my story of success with you.  My daughter, Gracie, is 3 1/4 yrs old. She also suffers with Appraxia of speech.  We “introduced her to potty training this past summer while I was in my last tri-mester of pregnancy of our second child.  Unfortunately, I went into labor a month early and potty training got put on the back burner.  We recently started back up and she was doing “pretty” good but it was taking soooo long.  With 2 kids in diapers we were losing our patience.  Then, we came across your 3day potty training method and decided to give it a shot.  Let me be clear.  This was the longest weekend of my entire life as I like to get out and have fun with my family on the weekend and we were trapped indoors. (Not to mention, it turned out to be a great weather weekend, too) Plus, while stuck indoors I was either following a very busy 3yr. old around or cleaning pee from the carpet. But lo and behold, Gracie went to school on day 4 (today) and came home dry!!!!!!! I feel like I won the lottery! This by far has been the greatest accomplishment of my parental life. My only regret is that I wasted so much time (and money) on other ineffective methods.  Now I can not wait until my youngest son turns 22months and we can do this all over again and be done with diapers FOREVER!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your potty wisdom with the rest of us!
