hi, I have a call with Michelle tomorrow but I just can’t wait to get some advice. we are on day 8 of mostly intensive training. she will go basically anywhere but the toilet. she will hold her pee or poop for hours and hours. I know, holding it is a skill and that’s great but I’m almost worried about a uti at this point. she almost has an association with only sitting on the potty and not going after we practiced just sitting for the first week. now, sitting is not the issue but there’s an opposite mindset with her. she is out of school until we can train her and will be withdrawn after 10 days of absences. we are over a week and seem to be getting worse as time goes on. she has some successes if we keep her on the potty all day. we give her the reinforcement right away every time and she loves it but isn’t making the association. seems like everyone else has had success after a couple days but what if she just can’t understand the expectation after all the prompts and explaining and visuals and books and songs?! please help.
Answer:
Hi I have a lot of questions so might be good to chat on our call.
1. What is your data on wins vs accidents each day, can you share that with me?
2. How long is she holding for? What ends up happening when she finally releases? Where does she do it?
3. How often are you taking her? How long is she sitting for each time?
4. Why are you keeping her out of school?
Lots of questions, I can feel your frustration. Lets unpack together but feel free to reply here.
