My oldest daughter potty trained easily. And younger than 2 years,
However my second child (daughter) was almost 3. (They are 18 months apart)
Because of being more concerned about how my mother felt, I pushed my second daughter.
Wrong! Each child is different. That's for real.
Sitting my second child on the potty--fine.
But as the poop start coming out, she would cry and scream and just throw a fit.
It's didn't hurt. It was just the transition of the poop no longer being against her body I think. This was strange to her and she didn't have the understanding in some way that this "poop" was not a part of her.
I quit the potty.
Instead I put her in the transition panties. Then, would take the poop and drop it in the toilet while she watched and then pour the poop from the potty into the big toilet and flush. Wave bye=bye while praising my daughter--over-acting a bit.
Extra steps. Tiring, but worth it.
Of course I'd sit all my 4 children on the potty just to get them use to it.
Then, when I knew it was near time for bowel movement or hoping to catch pee.
Patience for the Mom is what's needed.
Be perpared to take extra steps and spend extra time
Praising your child is always important. Don't bribe your child. They are young, but smart.
Each child is different.
Important to know and understand your child's personality and
personal likes because these things can be use to help keep your child happy and peaceful.
Remember your child will get it. This too shall pass.
I hope this helps some.
