Oh Crap! Potty Training - anyone else start early?


Kiddo is 19mo. I decided she is capable of learning because when she soiled a diaper, she'd get a clean one and try to put it on herself (over the dirty one). Then she'd be really upset that someone changed her. She also had been waking up from overnight dry. She also can communicate hunger, thirst, etc.We started Oh Crap! Potty Training method on Friday and here on Day 4 we are still in Block One. When she has to poop, she runs frantically around trying to find a private spot (under a table, etc.) until the poop just falls out of her. She's peeing on the floor in sprinkles, but we had two good solid pees in the potty yesterday and two today so far.I am suspecting my kid might be extra sensitive to correction. When we say firmly, "pee doesn't go on the floor. Pee goes in the potty" she loses it crying, sometimes throwing herself on the floor.tl;dr questions:How can we slow her down during pooping freak out time?The book method specifies no rewards, but I'm struggling to see the difference in a reward vs. a special item kid gets when on the potty. We also are cycling through our "special items" so fucking fast my head is spinning.If anyone can offer any insight, I'd love it. I assume we're supposed to be going bananas and bouncing off the walls at this point, but still hoping for encouragement. Thank you! via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2bVdDP7
