However this isn't as hard as people make it out to be, if you know what you are doing.
If you follow this article you will have your daughter from soiled diapers to dry undies in no time if you're able to invest the necessary time and patience necessary.
Are you ready to make this as simple as possible? 1.
Signs of Readiness It is important to see if your child is physically, mentally, and emotionally ready for the task at hand, but what does that mean to you? From a medical point of view, it is best to wait until she is at least 18 months of age before potty training - the amount of time for her bowel and bladder system to fully develop.
Potty training quickly has the most success from 24-36 months of age.
Pulling pants up and down with or without your help, understanding simple phrases and instructions, dry diapers and giving a positive attitude to the concept of potty training are excellent indicators of readiness.

Before the Training Before the actual training begins, familiarize your daughter with the toilet by having her start getting used to sitting on it.
During this time, explain to them what the toilet is used for and go through the various steps (pulling pants down, sitting, eliminating waste, cleaning up, and washing hands) in detail.
Try to have her sit on the toilet for 5-10 minutes, you can hold her interest by telling a story, singing a song, etc.
A great sitting time is before she takes a bath.
Also, make sure you teach her how to wipe from front to back to keep fecal matter away from her vagina! Giving your daughter a high-fiber diet before and during potty training will prevent the chance of constipation, a common situation in babies and toddlers that can have them not wanting to continue.

During the Training Once she is able to comfortably sitting on the toilet you can begin potty training.
Every 20 minutes or so take her by the hand into the restroom and have her sit on the toilet to see if she urinates or has a bowel movement.
Whether she does or not, give a lot of praise to her but whatever you do, DO NOT punish her for accidents or have siblings (if she has any) teasing her for it; this is the worst thing you can do during this period.
Potty training girls isn't difficult, just very time-consuming as your child gets used to things.
