2 year old keeps ripping at her diaper so hard it puts holes in it. Any advice? Also potty training dos and donts

Question

Hey my 2 year old keeps yanking her diaper so hard at night that it ripps open (not off) and those beads get everywhere. Any advice? Also when did u know to start potty training? She doesnt really understand the word potty or anything like that so it makes me nervous to try it yet.

Answer

That doesnt mean she's ready to be potty trained. It just means she knows how to take her diaper off. Is she wearing pjs to bed?

Answer

Put shorts or panties on top of the diaper. One method I saw that it is good for potty train is to take the diaper off and leave them with underwear. They will pee around but they will tell you eventually and you can also put them in the toilet every 20-30 mins and tell them pipi or caca (spanish for popping lol). 
Those are the methods I will try with my twins

Answer

She's giving you a clue that it's time for the potty by ripping at her diaper..she doesn't need to know the word potty to potty train. She'll learn.

Answer

What brand of diaper are you using? My son would constantly tear at his diapers when he was around 2 years old and we used/use pampers, I never noticed any beads coming out of them, so maybe you could give them a try? They still make a mess when torn apart of course, but it could be a slightly better situation. 
This doesn’t mean she’s ready to potty train. If she’s not showing interest in the potty or other signs that she’s ready, I wouldn’t jump on that train yet. 
Do you think she may do it because she’s bored? That’s why my little one would do it. We gave him age appropriate fidget toys to distract him and it helped a lot with getting him to stop messing with his diaper/penis.

Answer

This is not a sign of potty readiness. Both of my kids went through this phase and didn't potty train until close to their third birthdays. 
With my oldest we had to duct tape the tabs on the diaper or she'd wake up and shit all over her room.

Answer

Does babe have some kind of clothing on? 
If she can’t communicate when she goes potty, that she wants to use the potty, and doesn’t show an interest in the potty…she’s not ready.
