1 Answer

Answer :

Only she will know when she is ready. Please don’t push because it will become a battle of wills that you will lose. She knows. She is two, and has control issues (because most two year olds do) so she sees this as her decision. She doesn’t want to. So she doesn’t want to. Make it a game, instead of serious. Have you tried the reward system? I hung a basket of pennies above the toilet , and gave my child one when she did what she should. The punishment system does not work. It’s a power struggle all the way.
