She may not be ready (2 is kind of young), though I'm sure you're more than ready to ditch the diapers! She'll let you know when it's time. If you push, and she's already got a stubborn streak, it'll just make for a bad experience for both of you...

My daughter was terrified of toilets initially. It was the weirdest thing I'd ever encountered. My son, no problem. Daughter, would shake and cry and totaly panic if someone flushed and she was in the bathroom. Finally I applied a little animal psycology and tried desensitizing her as if she were an abused horse. We read books on the potty. We had lunch in the bathroom (gross, I know). I had her brother and father randomly come in just to flush while she was in the tub or brushing her teeth. It took four months of this before she got her stool and climbed on the toilet all by herself. She didn't do anything. Just sat there. Eventually she started tossing things in the toilet and flushing while she was off of it. Finally she got on went, wiped and flushed like it was nothing and hasn't looked back since. She's been independant in the bathroom for about 5 months now and she turned three in May. Keep at it and follow her lead. You'll be free of diapers soon, don't worry!

If she sees you on the toilet, she probably gets the idea. If she ever does goes in her potty, give her a reward. Tell her she gets a cookie or whatever she likes when she goes in the potty. If you put pressure on a 2 year old, they do act stubborn. Try ignoring the negative behavior (when she doesn't go) Only respond to the behavior you want form her.
Next time she goes in for a check-up you can talk to your practitioner to make sure there is no medical reason she might be resisting.

All of this is normal. Don't let any stuck up parent tell you differently, even though Junior next door might have been reciting poetry by his first birthday, and was walking by 3 months.
As far as the potty training, it's not something that can be forced. It has to be her idea. The best way for that to happen is for her to see other girls going potty and then say "what big girls!". Then she'll want to be a big girl like them, yada yada yada... she'll eventually get there. It takes time, patience, and lots of detergent to wash the wet clothes and sheets.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aNNKv
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Don't make an issue of it. She just isn't ready. Trust me...I have raised more than 20 children and none are the same.
Expose her to other children who are now potty trained and she will catch on as soon as she is ready.

bribe her! put her on the potty,and for the first week, just reward her for sitting there, and make a big deal about what a big girl she is(I used smarties and m&ms) then only if she gets on by herself, then, if she actually does a tinkle, make a big deal about it, and give her extra , but stop rewarding her for just sitting there. reware her every time she goes by herself, and actually goes, Give her even more candy if she poops. It won't take her long to figure out when she really has to go and will prefer panties to diapers. You should also get her some pretty panties to wear, as soon as she starts to go by herself. don't remark on her failures, just her accomplishes. and expect about a year of 'accidents'

When the potty is introduced, they're ALL stubborn
She may be ready in days,weeks or months, but not
at the moment.
Be cool

She clearly isn't ready yet. Language development is part of toilet readiness, and you could traumatize her by becoming upset or confusing her. My kids trained late but they knew what to do when they started and it was much easier. And kids don't understand pull-ups aren't diapers either. My daughter didn't train until she didn't want to pee her princess panties.

Why is this a must right now? I have four kids, one boy and three girls. When they are ready they are ready. This is something that you cannot push or MAKE her do. If she is not capable of understanding what point you are trying to make to her, it isn't going to work. Be patient and hang in there...it will happen!
