Need some solutions for a toddler stripping down to her birthday suit

What about this: When they do their dirty little deed you discuss, very calmly in a monotone voice, that because they did _____ they are getting _(their favorite toy)_ removed. This will happen every time they do the bad deed, another toy will be removed. But, they will get the toy (or ALL the toys) back if they use the potty even just once.

Even tho' they wouldn't like the situation, atleast they have a choice in the matter.

I never had this particular problme, but DD learned very early, When you do something you know is wrong, I will take away something of yours. I and only I will decide what I take, and if you ever get it back.

Worked like a charm, especially when explained that the most probable thing I'm going to take is your very favorite, and your chances of getting it back EVER are slim.

I think Freud would say that like anal retention, it has to do with them finding control over something. They're in charge of pooping/peeing where and when they want.
Especially if they're mad at you and know you don't want that.
But I would also follow all these mothers advice.

Way to complex for a toddler to understand.

and you should never use any kind of punishment with a toddler and two year old that is tied to potty training. And I mean ever. That is exactly how you cause major potty training problems..is by tying a punishment to potty training.

It is okay to reward a child to potty train...but you shouldn't punish, take toys away, put in a time out, spank ect if they refuse to potty train.
