Hi Jenny,
I know what you mean.  I started training Abby at the age of three.  We started with a potty chair, she hated it!  It was way to small and she was scared of it.  So... I bought a seat that snapped onto the toilet and bought an elmo stepping stool.  This made her feel like a big girl and she would start by sitting on the toilet for a treat, we used M&M's.  She would get one for sitting on the toilet then when she would pee she would get five.  I didn't put her in the pull-up's because it confused her, so chucked those and used underwear.  Of course she had accidents but it took about 2 months of work to get her completely trained.  I tried not to be mad when she would have an accident because I have heard of children holding it and having problems with their kidneys and constipation.  It is difficult sometimes when you have cleaned up several accidents already.  We got a carpet cleaner to have on hand, highly suggest that if you have carpet.  This is what worked for us.  I hope it helps.  Good luck!
Love,
Greta Holmes

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone had some advice on toilet training.
How did you know when your kids were ready. I bought Earl a potty chair
and he's terrified of it, any advice would be greatly appreciated, as
always! Talk to you all soon.
Love Jenny
