Wait until she is completely ready. Don’t force it.
My daughter was completely night AND day trained in just 3 days at 2yrs. I did the 3 day method. She was completely ready on her own

I absolutely love the book “oh shit potty training”
My daughter showed interest at 22 months. Shes now 26 months and fully potty trained
Don’t force it. My daughter is 5 and struggles. My son is 2 and is almost there. He just doesn’t pull his pants down yet, but being naked he is 100%.
I use to take my daughter with her potty in the toilet with me and ill sit down and she will be on hers and we did it everyday until she understood and at 3 she was using the toilet…

First few days my girl ran around butt naked till she got the hang of using the toilet. We sat her down every 30 min and after any meal. If she got a drink 10 min later we sat them on the toilet. She didn’t go everytime and Lord knows we had many accidents. But eventually she got the hang of it and would tell me. When accident happened that was it, no punishment. We just explained what happened and how we have to make sure when we feel the urge we got got to go. We then took her to the store and let her pick out 2 of her favorite packs of undies as a reward.
We encouraged it when my daughter turned 2. We thought she would take to it immediately but she was stubborn and was ready when just after she turned 3. We waited till she seemed to actually want to use it and went cold turkey from pull ups (with the exception of night time till she was ready) she was fully using the potty after about a day and a half

I reccomend this to any potty training parent! It helped so much! It plays a tune every 30 60 or 90 minutes. (You choose timer)
Started with some really cool Youtube potty videos to get her interested and not scared. Took her in with me and showed her what to do. Took her to close her own potty and used pee pads on the bed at night. Never used Pullups just diapers in the beginning then went cold turkey. She was 3 when she fully got it.

Probably not ready. My daughter was trained a couple months after 3. All 3 of them either a couple months before or after 3. Introduced underwear & potty and then they decided.
They have to be 100% ready. We started potty training my daughter when she was 2. She’s 3 now and just got the concept of it! Everytime she goes potty in the toilet she gets a sticker and a sucker. It also helped when we told her she won’t be able to go to preschool and dance glass unless she she stops peeing and pooping in her pull up.
Roxanne McGarry you following x
If she’s showing all signs of being ready, of course: when my 2.5 year old was potty training I kept her fully naked for a full week… She wouldn’t just pee anywhere (not sure if this is just her or if it’s a thing!) so she’d ask for the toilet. Took 3 weeks (one week naked, one week just underwear, one week underwear and pants) and she was fully trained. I know this isn’t typical but I truly believe being naked is what helped her! Maybe yours too 
good luck!

I’m following. My 3 yr old plays with her potty. But, she doesn’t seem interested. Please no bashing.
I did a potty chart with the days of the week on it every time my daughter used the potty she got a sticker to put on it and if she got a hole roll field up she got a little surprise like candy or a small toy it super fun to do
What are signs that they are ready

Until they are around 2and1/2 to 3 their mind & body won’t connect the signals of needing to go potty. I work in daycare and potty train 11 two yr olds every day. Some parents expect their child to be trained right at two yrs. It doesn’t happen. I can sit them on the potty and maybe they go but there will be accidents.
Talk about how nice it is to feel dry and buy big girl pants. Let her try using the toilet or the potty when you know she needs a wee. I found mine went at pretty much the same time every day!
My daughter will be 3 in November and has been using the potty for pee but still refuses to poop in the toilet. I think it just takes awhile. I hope lol

It’s really best to start sooner, but there’s nothing you can do about that. with my daughter, i got her excited about big girl panties and stopped buying diapers. The only time I’d put her in them is in the car and at night and my goal was to have it done before I ran out. I would give her liquids at specific times and we would sit on her potty chair once every hour and if she peed, id clap and get her really excited. They’ll catch on in no time!! It helped my daughter to be naked from the waist down while potty training. They’ll know that there’s nothing to catch their pee. You’ll have to clean up some accidents, so don’t get mad at her. Just show her the mess and have her help clean it.
Dry wipe marker sit the wrong way round on toilet seat (facing seat) and let her draw on it (obviously sanitise first) it will wipe off without leaving mark’s and give her something to do while she is waiting to go. Always prompt and get them to try to go when you do lots of praise and treats go with her if she isnt ready stop straight away and revisit in a few weeks/months
My daughter essentially potty trained herself at 2. We attempted the bribery method at first, which resulted in her expecting an m&m just for sitting on the potty and wasn’t actually conducive to her learning. I decided she wasn’t ready yet and just brought her to the bathroom with me if I had to go. Then one day a couple months later, I left her in her bedroom for a couple of minutes (our rooms were across the hall from eachother) and she walked herself to the bathroom and went pee by herself. She said “I pee” and smiled, and that was that. They’ll let you know when they’re ready. Is she communicating with you? Does she understand the signs she has to use the potty? Does she like your potty option? I know that sounds stupid but some kids are particular… some don’t like plastic potties and some are scared of the actual toilet. If she’s not comfortable on her potty, she’ll be less inclined to want to use it.
Edited to add: 2 is still very young for potty training too. I think 3 is the national average but every kid is different.
Mine started at 2. She wouldnt use one of those little pottys so had to buy one that looks like an actual toilet. We made up a song for getting mini marshmallows as a reward. “One for wee, two for poo, wipe your bottom, yay for you” lol tacky but worked!! (I think it was the marshmallows that worked not the song) lol she learnt that she only got the marshmallows if the potty was full of something
every child different whatever be consistant
Janet Lansbury has an article I like about why it’s unnecessary. 3 Reasons Kids Don't Need Toilet Training (And What To Do Instead) - Janet Lansbury
For me doing with a week with no bottoms and a sticker chart worked. Encouraged her to try just about every hour. She picked it up fast.
My daughter refused to potty until she was around 3… Did the bribery, rewards, etc but did not work so I decided to just potty with her on a schedule. She uses the small portable thing. After a few days she did not want me to potty with her anymore. Now she’s 5 and using the adult toilet but still needs supervision when cleaning up. Every child is different & forcing won’t do good. I heard some kids are 6 or 7 but still cannot do it on their own despite trainings.
I just pop her on the potty every time I change her nappy and see if she will do a wee, I make a big deal about what a bit girl she is and she loves it. She’s only 19 months but hopefully once she’s older she will like to use it and slowly understand when she needs to go. I think all in there own time

My daughter potty trained in 3 days.
She sat on the potty EVERY 15 minutes the first day.
Second day was EVERY 30 minutes even if we were out.
And third day EVERY hour.
After that she was potty trained. After a week she was night trained as well.
After training four children I found that potty training should never result in stress…for either parent or child. If they’re not ready, they’re simply not ready. Kids show their own signs that their ready. An additional tip with girls, if they’re showing signs, trying, yet still have accidents, have them checked for a UTI. With little girls who “sit in urine” from diapers and/or trainers, along with usually taking bath as the norm instead of showers, they are susceptible to UTI’s. It’s hard to potty train when you constantly feel like you have to pee.
Don’t stress it. Make accidents ok. Reward when they do use the potty. A song and clapping yelling yea helps. Have the family involved. Make her go to the bathroom with you so while you’re in the toilet she’s on the potty. Introduce panties with different characters so she likes wearing them. PS. Yes you will have to clean up pee at times and wash a few pissy sheets. But consistency works.

My daughter took about a week and a half and I put Minnie mouse panties on her and took her to potty every 30 mins. And celebrated Everytime she went potty. Yay, wow ur such a big girl, I’m so proud of u, etc. And she got a bite sized candy. When she had accidents I just cleaned them up and told her she wasn’t a baby anymore and she was mommy’s big girl.
My first child, I was on top of it and then my son was born so she reverted back. I tried everything! I even took a break from training for a couple months as my pediatrician suggested. Then someone told me about a potty party. I went to library at the time and looked it up. Bought her a doll, some treats, wrapped the present and we spent one entire day teaching her doll to go potty. Still she wasn’t even trying it herself. Seriously, by the end of the evening she just started going. On her own and never stopped. The focus was off of her and put on to her doll going. I seriously slipped apple juice and Tootsie rolls into the toddler potty to show the baby doll went. Everytime the doll went we got excited and had a treat for her! Potty party was a complete success!

My daughter knew how to potty early. Like 12 months. We bought the tiny pottys and started training. My hopes weren’t high but she knew what to do and really liked it. So she would potty and we would be so proud. And reinforce … slowly she started not wanting to use the little pottys but she knew how and she found it more convenient to just go in her diaper. So i took her diapers away. She thought i would give in and let her run around with a diaper but I didn’t. After 2 times of peeing on herself she realized i was serious and that i was serious. Now i have a potty trained toddler and we all lived happily ever after

I made a sticker chart. At the end of the week she got a to buy something of a small price at the store (play dough, paint, coloring book ) and lots of making a huge deal out of praising her when she went potty!
I let both of mine run naked when we are home. They don’t like peeing on themselves and it getting all down their legs. So once they realized that it makes a mess (I also let them help clean it up) they were ready to start getting on the potty. When she does finally go in the potty, make it a huge deal. Yaaaaay!!! You’re such a big girl, good job!!! Then give her a treat. Worked well for both of mine! Good luck
my mom just let me pick out my own underwear (i chose the ones with princesses on the front) and wouldn’t let me wear them until i would peepee in the potty because “princess aurora doesn’t wanna get peepee on her”

I let them run around with just a t shirt on. Every 15 or 20 mins I take them potty. It’s a lot of work at first but within a week all 3 of mine have been potty trained. We only have accidents once in awhile, usually when they are sick.
I told my daughter no pee pee in toilet no YouTube kids for you…she is fully potty trained now lol she is 3

You will have to wait until she’s ready. We have a 3 year old who I tried several times to potty train. She would have accidents all the time and refuse to go potty. She would use her own potty when she felt like it. Now for the past two weeks, she’s been doing fabulous. One accident. It was my fault bc we were in the car longer than planned. She started preschool so she’s excited to use the potty. I would try to find something that excites her. Maybe a piggy bank and give her a quarter when she uses the potty and then let her buy herself something. When shes ready she will do it. Good luck.
Dont force it. Start introducing pull ups if you havent already. When shes ready she will let you know. Keep asking if she needs to go potty and try taking her to the bathroom and slowly introduce it
Google 3 day potty method
I bought my daughter fancy undies … The silky one with the lace ruffles on the back … They were so special she didn’t want to get them dirty … Worked like a charm … Good luck momma !! Peace
Cold turkey on the diapers!! My daughter was potty trained in 2 days
