e

potty, then, when we let her up, she does the rest in her pants. Can anyone

advise me how I might get to go in the potty? I've tried running water, and

that doesn't work. I don't make any fuss about accidents, and when she goes

in the potty, it's PARTY TIME!!!! Candy, cheers, praise, you name it! For

whatever

reason, it seems she doesn't want to go in the potty.

My daughter is the same way. Today we're trying a child seat on the toilet

rather than the potty. I'll let you know. (Someone said that they have seen us

model using the toilet, so they want to use the toilet too. All I know is that

my kid will go into the bathroom, sit on the potty for *hours* drinking juice

and listening to the water trickle down the drain, stand up, pull up her pants

and go in her pants.)

Margaret,

I have been reading your potty training dilemmas and making myself

feel better just to know that someone else is in the same boat I am in, but I

think I am sinking fast.

My 5 year old niece (w/autism) has been living with me for seven

months. It has taken me this time to get her to sit on the commode. She is

too large for a potty. I started with the ring. That is when she really

started to try sitting there. I tried at Spring Break and decided she just

wasn't ready. Now that school is out we are really trying. Sometimes she

sits there just fine and others she screams. She will not have anything to

do with being there. She has not actually done anything in the toilet since

before Spring Break.

I am about to give up hope. I tell her it is time to potty. She runs

to the bed, climbs up and lies down on her back thinking she will get a

diaper instead. I thinks she is just now realizing when she is doing her

job. I'm not sure if she has the " I'm going to sensation. "

Thanks for the updates!

Kathy,

Please let me know what happens with the seat on the big toilet. Presently,

when she goes to the bathroom, we have her standing up until she starts to

" go " then quickly put her on the potty. We have her wipe up the floor (hand

over hand).

Our Wed pm therapist got four successes in two hours yesterday doing this!

Mind you, DD drank four cups of juice in the same time.

My son was not potty trained until we treated yeast, diet, and underlying

virus.

Now at 8 he is finally there,

We're starting potty training tomorrow. I am trying to take advantage of the

break between now and summer school. God help us.

Bye,
