Potty training girls successfully requires you to spend some time preparing and planning. The preparation could take anywhere from one hour to a few weeks depending on how ready you and your child are. The time required for the follow-up really depends on your child. Some children do not require any follow-up, but others may require more. The technique is focused on the one day, which I like to call the "Big Day". This is the day when the actual potty training is done and your child will give up diapers forever and start using "big kid" underwear.
With your assistance and guidance your child will teach her doll to use the potty. She will start by giving the doll water. Give your child her favorite drink as well. Then your child will remove the doll's "big kid" underwear and will make the doll pee on the potty. You will both celebrate and throw a big party for the doll for being such a big girl. You will also let your child know that she will also have a big party when she urinates in the potty. Continue to give your child fluids and ask him if s/he wants to go pee in the potty. While waiting for your child to pee, make the doll have an accident. In a very positive way, teach your child the consequences of having an accident - make the doll practice going to the potty 3 times. You also want to encourage your child to practice pulling her pants down and sitting on the potty. When your child pees in the potty, you will celebrate your child's success with a party. Congratulations!!! You and your child have done it. No more diapers!!!
