Hi everyone! I was wondering... Has any of you heard of a child resistant to potty training? We have tried a few times since she was 18 months old. And she gets really frustrated every time a " mishap " occurs although we keep cheering her on. Once she kept herself for a long time from going number two. Today we are trying again! She really dislikes the whole endeavor and we went to buy stickers and put Peppa the pig on TV. Also we watched YouTube videos of babies going potty. I understand that this is a silly thing to worry about. She will eventually grow out of it obviously, but besides giving her juice, putting her favorite show, bring toys around her and squeak with enthusiasm I am all out of ideas. I even made her toys and dollies go potty, and let the water run in case the trickling sound helps. Any ideas??

read her the book, 'everything poops'. it's cute and she will get the idea.
Sorry -- not my area of expertise! I like Joyce's idea though.
I had a similar issue with my son. He just wouldn't sit so I got some special lollies. They were very fancy and we made a big deal of them. And every time he did number twos he got a special lollie. It took just a few days and she sat and waited success. By the time the special lollies were finished he was good to go, so to speak I know it's hard but try not to worrie. It will happen xxx
Make it fun. I know how silly that sounds, but it's the only thing that has worked for me. My nephew hated it. He would hide when he felt the urge and then scream when he needed to get cleaned up. I started by making it into a game--he had to try to go before I finished singing a particular song. If he started to go before I finished singing he got a surprise. The Little Princess didn't care for it either. She was more difficult than my nephew, and it took longer. With her, I read books or listened to audiobooks together. We read many, many, many books about poop... I think one she figured out that pooping was okay, she finally was trained.
Don't despair. Most parents I know have suffered through the same issue. I think it's pretty common...

Really you are not just saying that? I have only heard of easy success stories of potty training in a day or weekend of babies that most of them were younger than her, she is 27 months old. And not once have I heard of a baby saying ” I don’t like potty I want to pee in the diaper “! I thought she would love being clean and dry! But noooo! I will try your singing game, none of my games worked, neither did the stickers or the toys, or the books, or me acting as if I was peeing or pooping too, or the potty training of the stuffed toys, or the camping in the toilet with pretty much every item we own! I am sure one day I will laugh all about it, but now I’m sick and in pain and I am this close to putting her on a diaper and try again in a year!! Lol!
Tried the game with the Greek version of twinkle twinkle little star. She sang it with me… Didn’t pee in the potty, went dancing with the potty on her head, peed herself! I shouldn’t have laughed, I know, but couldn’t hold it in. I will explain her the game once more and try again. Lots of love!!!!!
My Reply to Your Replies:
I am very surprised to hear that you haven't heard of people having serious issues potty training their children. It's one of the (too many) stressful situations one has to handle while raising a child. Some children are easier to train than others--my little brother was a good one. But must kids have some trouble. They get distracted, they don't want to stop playing, they get the urge while in bed and don't wake up, they hate the toilet... or kinds of things.
About you laughing, I would have roared too!
P.S. I'm adding my replies here because I am going to delete the responses you left on the Witches in Fiction post--people are started to ask me about the potty training, lol!
Good luck! My kids were so stubborn with potty training. They eventually got it.
