Potty Training Trials

I’ve learned to never compare children, especially siblings, especially when it comes to potty training. My oldest daughter was easy. She trained like a pro and there was really not much work involved. It’s funny to look back on it now because she was difficult in almost every other way. She had colic for months and never wanted to take naps or go to bed, but using the big girl potty was a breeze.

My youngest daughter, was a dream baby. She slept through the night at four months old. She was on a schedule most of her infant and toddler life with naps, feeding, (then eating) and bedtime. But potty training was completely different. It took us over a year to get her to pee in the toilet. If we went anywhere outside of our house, familiar homes, or church, she’d still need a pull up because she had a fear of “public toilets”.

So at the age of five, with kindergarten approaching, she still wasn’t fully trained. Thankfully she was able to attend a summer school class for two weeks before kindergarten. The teachers worked with her and by the time the school year began, she didn’t consider the school bathrooms “public”.

But we were still in trouble when it came to the other part of training. We ended up having to take her to a counselor who worked with us on behavioral training methods. It was a long, difficult journey for all of us. But she’s a normal girl who just had some issues at that time. We’ll never understand what she was afraid of, but it’s done and over.

When this was going on, I spoke to so many other mothers who had problems with toilet training. That’s where the Potty Project, from Huggies, comes in to help you. Learn from experts and other parents as they go through similar issues as you.
