This is a question for all the mothers and grandmothers out there. Marisa is getting interested in using the potty. For some reason we can’t get her to stay sitting on the potty. She points to her diaper and says “stinky” and runs to the bathroom. We take off her diaper and sit on the toilet. She sits for about 20 seconds stands up and says “all done” then wants her diaper back on. I put her diaper back on and she cries that she wants it off. So I take it off and I help her back on the potty she cries and we put the diaper back on. We then go back to doing whatever she was doing. Two minutes later she wants/needs a diaper change.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help her use the potty?

What about the Dad's? We were around when these things were happening, and we have opinions.
Be persistant. Lead her to success and then give her lots or praise. That's how you learned.
Mom was very patient with you. You knew that you had to go and got up on the potti. If you got off without making, Mom wouldn't give up on you. She talked to you in a soft voice and and reminded you that there was still some business to take care of, and she stayed there with you for long periods of time.
Patience, persistence, and pleasantness. The three P's. It works.
See, I do remember some things.
By the way, I think she lost two of the three P's somewhere after the 4th kid. So practice it while you can.
