Question
I am a full-time working mother. When my oldest daughter (now 3) was 19 months old, I gave birth to her little sister (now 20 months). I had read your toilet training book and knew that I wanted to start when my daughter was about 18 months old. During my maternity leave, we started on the naked and $75 system and she was mostly trained by the time I went back to work. Now I want to start training our youngest, but she refuses to sit on the potty - either the little potty or the toilet with a potty seat. I’ve let her run around naked from the waist down at home and we only end up with puddles. She cries when this happens, but it doesn’t seem to make her want to use the potty seat. It makes it especially hard because she is in daycare and obviously can’t run around naked. They require either diapers or pullups until the child is trained. What’s the best way to potty train a child when they have to be in daycare and I can’t spend the time with her?
