3 year old potty training suggestions


My 3 year old daughter stared using her potty about a week and a half ago. Progress was rapid at first, and she is almost completely independent when having to go #2. But now I feel we have reached a bit of a plateau with #1.I am a teacher, and am off for the summer. So we have been home mostly for the past week and a half with lots of potty time. First it was just naked, then undies, hoping to get pants/shorts back on soon.She holds her pee as long as she can, and then will let a little out in her undies. She tells me, and tries to let more out on the potty, but often won't get anything else out. She had previously not been having any accidents (even with the underwear) so I feel like this is a bit of a step back.I've been bribing her with jellybeans and suckers for successful potty trips. We celebrate, and sometimes throw in a "potty dance". I've talked with her about how proud I am of her, and she is happy to be a "big girl" and use the potty (most of the time). I say "let me know if you need to use the potty" like a broken record.What can I do to get her to try going #1 more on the potty?I feel like once we get a good handle on this, then I'll feel more confident working with her using public restrooms and other potties.I'm due with another babe mid-September. So, any tips, advice, or watershed insights (lol) that might expedite this process would be greatly appreciated.I know I'll probably "just have to be patient"Thanks in advance! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Nw65l6
