Dear God, she can print on the computer, find her own games on the internet, tested 92% on test where 80%=gifted. Yet crap or piss on the toilet? WHOA NO! We couldn't have that!! Because that would mean mommy and daddy wouldn't have to deal w/ASS SHIT for two minutes!!! MY CHRIST!!!

My now three year old decided at some point that she wasn't going to wear nappies anymore, and started using the potty instead. A fortnight later, she decided she would use the toilet from then on, and has done so.

If only her younger brother would do the same, instead of removing his nappy and finding new and interesting places to poo.

How old is she G? My daughter would freak if she knew I posted this but....HEHEHE She would for the longest time sneak a training diaper and hide in the closet. For the life of me I could not figure out why she would pee but not poop on the potty. When she was about 2 she just started using the potty out of the blue, end of problem.

Interesting. This is approximately how I got into urban exploration.

She's three. She knows how to use the potty and does sometimes, but for whatever reason as of late she is refusing to do so. We've been dealing w/her (literally) shit since August. Her brother, while by no means exceptional, turned three and was like, "Uh yeah, I crap on the toilet now."

Ditto.

Time heals all wounds. She is now a super-pooper and freaking wrote her name last night! (not in shit, that would be too awesome). She's still three!

With my little darling, all it took was reading material.
We keep all the Toys-R-Us catalogs and every other "buy me this dad" thing that comes in the mail next to the toilet.
That is the only place she can look at/read this stuff.
That was all it took.
She has been successfully using the toilet since 18/19 months thanks to this trick.

With tried with our 18 month old and she would scream and scream if we put her on the toilet. If we left her diaper off, she would pee on the floor and she would go into a closet to hide-a-poo. We would only attempt for a day to train her, and fearing the negative experience would do more damage then good, we would return to our regular diaper routine. We would attempt again every 8 or 9 days, with the same results. We would give her a treat if she sat quietly on the toilet, even if she didn't pee (she never would). This went on for months, but we just stayed patient.

She is now 25 months old and about 4 weeks ago decided that she would like to wear panties instead of a diaper. Within four days, after lots of celebrating and treats, her entire daytime routine is on the toilet only. It took about 2-3 weeks for her to start pooping on the toilet, so we had a few accidents in her panties. That has now resolved itself, however we have had a few pee accidents in the last 4 weeks, but not many. We even take her out with panties on now (we bring a potty in the car and a change of clothes)

She still wears a diaper to bed, but we encourage her to take it off and go to the toilet, she has only done that a couple of times. We make her pee before and after sleeping.

The other trick we use is a variety of treats, she has a choice after she pees of a marshmellow, a small chocolate, a small cookie, swedish berry, gummy, or sugar candy. And she gets to have several treats after she has a poop on the toilet. We also reward her older sister with the same choice of a treat if she helps or encourages her little sister with potty training, that has been a huge help in our training.
