My daughter is showing signs that she might be ready to be potty trained (she's 26 mos). She lets us know when she has a poopy diaper, and she'll watch mommy use the toilet and flushes it when it's done. I've purchased a small potty chair which she happily sits on fully clothed. She will also go through the motions of pretend wiping and placing the TP in the potty chair, and will even try to wash her hands. A couple days ago I tried to take the next step and coaxed her to sit on the potty chair with her pants pulled down, but she's afraid to sit on it bare-bottom. We've also gone through the trick of potty-training her teddy bear, but she still won't sit on the toilet, unless her pants are pulled up. Any suggestions? Should I keep trying daily to get her to do this, or should I back off for a month or two?
