My kiddo is almost 3. She does not want to potty train, at all. I’ve tried candy, praise, the Oh Crap method, ignored it, anyways. I get it. She’s not ready and I don’t think it’s something i need to push anymore.

Not all are going to be ready at 2 or even 3. Why force the issue?
What’s the question?? Between 2-3 they realize only they can control certain things like going potty eating going to sleep they realize no one can make them only they control that. Children will stand on that they will hold out way way long to keep that control over their own lives. I’d say start letting her make some of her own choice……do u want to wear this or this do u want to eat this or this. Not to many choices or the child will get overwhelmed. Give the child a little bit of control over there own day to day also make her think going potty is her idea. Make her think she decided to do it not u and she’s not doing it to make u happy she’s doing it for…… going to school or what ever reason she needs that will make her think oh yeah I really wanna do that so I’m gonna potty so I can.
Exactly ,she’ll do it when she’s ready,then it’ll be easy peasy
My granddaughter was exactly the same. My daughter told her when the diapers on hand ran out she wasn’t buying more. She got her a potty watch and reward board and she took to it like a champ. She was so pleased with herself she didn’t care about the reward board after the first couple of days.
My grand daughter potty so good. We threw the diapers out. Get a bottle of resolve and slap those panties on. She will pee herself but she won’t enjoy the wet feeling. Beleive me. She’s a big girl now. 3.5. Proud of my girl!

Mine didn’t know they needed a pee until they were five. They were dry at night. We ended up just encouraging using the toilet often and putting them in regular panties. Just be ready for accidents. Talk about feeling clean and grown up. Don’t worry overmuch though. Mines now eighteen with the bladder of a camel!
Just take away her diapers and put her in underwear.
