This week, a grandmother needs some help with her granddaughter. Here's what she writes:

"My granddaughter, who turns three this month, will not go to the bathroom unless my other granddaughter takes her. That is a problem because one lives in Charlotte and the other in Knightdale, How can we get her to go to the potty all the time instead of using her Pull-Ups. Mommy and Nanny need help to get her completely trained."
