This is what I did with my Joey. He has a pottie box that he uses in the house. I would tell him what a good boy when he went in the pottie box. When he would for some reason go somewhere else I would always gently call him to me and proceed to show him what he should have done. I will tell him 'this is not the potty box' then I will pick up the poop with toilet paper and put it on the pottie box and tell him softly that 'this is the potty box' as I put him on the pottie box too. Sometimes he would potty on his toilet in one spot and then on the floor next to his toilet. So I would quietly call him to me and in a gentle voice I would tell him that his pottie on the box was good pottie. Then I would show him the pottie on the floor and tell him that"this is not the pottie box.Then I would pick up the poop with the toilet paper and set it on the pottie box and show him that this is where he potties. He seemed to learn from it and I never got upset with him as I know you are not supposed to do that. But I did feel he needed to understand what was the right place to potty and what was the wrong place. It worked for us and I hope you find the answer to your problem. It is unusual that your little one would move it with her mouth to a different place I understand but maybe the one who said she was imitating you had the answer. Hope it gets better as it is frustrating when they potty where they should not. |
