No, that's pretty strange. Does she still want to wear diapers?

No, it's not normal. Your daughter may have developed a fear of the toilet for some reason. Try to get her to pee in a little porta-potty and see if she goes in that. Also see if she will go in a public toilet. If she goes in other places but not in one particular toilet then something traumatic may have happened there. But I'd wait for a about a month and see if it's just a phase before taking her to see a professional.

My child won't use the toilet.
Strange as it sounds, children sometimes refuse to use the toilet because they're afraid of it. Imagine the toilet from your child's point of view: It's big, hard, and cold, it makes loud noises, and things disappear into it, never to be seen again. From this vantage point, the toilet is something to steer clear of!
The best thing you can do in this situation is to help your tike get comfortable with his own little potty chair. Start by letting him know that it's his very own. Personalize it by writing his name on it or letting him decorate it with stickers. Let him sit on it fully clothed, put his teddy bear on it, and lug it around the house if he wants to. To help him get more comfortable with the big toilet, you might take his soiled diaper, empty it into the toilet, and let him flush down his poop, watching it disappear. Reassure him that this is what's supposed to happen -- roaring noises and all.
Maybe your child's unwillingness to use the toilet is simply his way of telling you that he wants to stay in diapers a while longer. Forcing the issue will only be counterproductive. If he genuinely seems uninterested in potty training now, give him a break and then watch for signs of readiness ahead.
If your toddler exhibits all the signs of readiness but is still unwilling, something may be preventing him from focusing on potty training just now. Any big change -- such as starting a new school, the arrival of a sibling, or moving to a new home -- can temporarily disconcert a toddler. Wait until your child has settled back into a comfortable routine before resuming training.

How Kids Grow: Defining Normal Behavior
Birth through Age Twelve
by Elaine M. Gibson
If we know what to expect at each stage of development, it is easier to decide if our child's behavior is "normal." These stages are approximate. The age isn't as important as the progression. Some children reach a stage faster, some reach it slower. Generally, all kids go through much the same things. Knowing what to expect can help parents deal with the frustrations and problems that are quite normal for each age. Behaviors that get stuck in one stage are cause for concern, otherwise, don't worry.
One can get by parenting easy kids with common sense and love. Parenting difficult kids requires love, compassion, endurance, and skill that is not common. Fortunately, the necessary skills can be learned. A parent's skill won't change the child into an easy kid, but it will prevent problems from getting worse.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten
What to expect: The most docile age.
Accepts parents wishes and generally obeys.
Learns to disobey in small rebellions: doesn't mind immediately, argues.
Sees rules as flexible and makes excuses for all misbehavior.
Demands that friends keep promises.
Needs:
Space.
Opportunities to make decisions.
Must be held accountable for the results of choices.
Discipline:
Don't argue.
Give them room to rebel in safe ways.
Enjoy the ten year old. It is a Golden Age.

I would seriously tell her that if she doesn't pee in the toilet like every other child her age there will be major reprocutions. Take things away, priveledges, valued stuffed animals, anything. Find something that will make her do what you tell her. Time her out, tell her you will take her to the hospital for shots and they will have to hook a tube to her pee area and it will hurt really bad.... whatever works?!?!?!

It is a negative attention getter. If she can show you a better place to pee...so be it. Dont let her wear a diaper, let her experience what will happen otherwis....I bet she will choose the toilet. Try letting here drop a little food color in the pot. she can use a different drop before she pees next time....try to "spice" it up a bit.

no sounds like she is being manipulative and getting attention for not doing it. Try literally ignoring her for a week when she pees. see what happens and if she gets over not peeing in the toilet. is she fearful of something? ask her that to. If she says no try the ignoring tactic.

No. You should try to figure out why she is having this issue. I would discuss it with the pediatrician and/or a psychologist. It seems highly unusual for her age group and my guess is the behavior is tied to some fear/anxiety/control based issue. Just my opinion. Good Luck.
