Is your child interested in training or do you feel like you are always trying to con them/bribe them, etc. to go on the potty chair?

Do you have your child use a potty chair or the toilet?

Is your child afraid? If yes, completely afraid, or just afraid of the potty chair or just afraid of the toilet?

What signs do they show that they are ready?

What do they wear during the day? Diaper, Undies, Pull Up/training pants, nothing?

If they are in a diaper/pull up how often to you take them to sit on the potty (usually)?

If they are wearing undies or pull ups and they know not to go in them (or at least know they aren't supposed to and try to make some effort not to), do you just take them when they show signs of needing to go, or still take them at usual intervals or shortly after drinking?

If they are wearing undies or are not wearing anything, do they hold it well?

What do you do if they clearly need to go, but they sit on the potty but refuse to let it come out or they are doing the 'potty dance' naked or in undies needing to go, but holding it? How long do you let this go on before giving them a diaper?

If they are sitting on the potty chair but nothing is happening, how long do you let them sit there?

If they go a tiny bit (like a tbsp) rather than emptying their bladder, do you reward them/praise them or do you say something like, "that's good, but let's keep trying, you have more in there and you need to get it all out"?

If you reward, what rewards do you give if they empty their bladder completely or poop?

Do you give the same reward whether it's pee or poop?

Do you give a reward for effort even if they don't go?

Do you let them play with a toy or read a book to them while they are sitting there on the potty chair?


Thank you in advance for answering these questions. I really need your help. I'll answer them below and include my concerns.
