My granddaughter will not keep her diaper on. She is 5 and really should have been potty trained earlier. She’s smart and makes the diaper issue a game. She hands my daughter a diaper when she has to pee. She gets extremely aangry when we put it on then takes it right off. She has no problem with wearing a diaper when she goes somewhere. I would like to give help some advice. Thank you

Since she does not like diapers , I think she is ready for potty training. Just put cut underwear and ask her to go to bathroom every 30mins. See if it helps. It worked for my son.

My son is 5 and still in pull ups he uses the toilet a few times a day but it still a struggle. I really would recommend that every time she takes it off try to get her to sit on the toilet for a little bit, offer a reward, If she doesn't start using the toilet then she will most likely stop taking off the diaper when it is not time to take it off to prevent having to sit on the toilet every time. Good luck.
