Potty training a resistant 3-year-old — what finally worked

Posted Apr 27, 2026

After 4 months of failed attempts I finally cracked potty training for my 3.5 year old and want to share what actually worked. We tried the 3-day method twice — disaster. Sticker charts — ignored. What eventually worked: 1. Bought a new potty (the old one was 'boring' apparently). 2. Let her go fully naked at home for a week. 3. Stopped making a big deal of accidents. 4. Gave her a sticker for her water bottle, not the chart. We're now 6 weeks in and fully day-trained. Still in pull-ups at night.
