Here it is- it has worked for my 2 kids,and others after I tell them........
1. get m and m's handy
2. get a small potty chair
3. get a couple books about potty
4. you need to be home for about 4-5 days straight
5. now you can start. let them run around bare-but
6. Set the timer for 1/2 hour. Tell him/her to sit on the potty for 5 min. (read them a book in the mean time if it's to long for them.) If they go, give lots and lots of praise!!! I mean go crazy!! Give them about 3 m and m's.
7. Set the timer for 1/2 hour
8. Avoid asking the question "you got to go potty?'
9. Timer goes off- ok! What does that mean junior? Time to go potty again he or she would say, or you say it if they don't
10. repeat process all day long. If they go # 2 in the potty, reward with a handful of m and m's. They are very colorful and kids love them!!
11. Praise praise praise. I do spank my kids for behavior problems such as lying, disobedience, and bad attitudes, but never for having an accident. If there is an accident, clean it up queitly, and don't say much at all. Remind them it's ok, but try to make it in the potty next time, or in your own words.
Good luck!!! Hope this helps you. My girl was potty-trained in two days with the method. Took my 2 1/2 year old son a week. Leave pull-ups on them at night just in case.
p.s. if this doen't work at all, try again in a few months.

She may not be ready, but what I did my daughter was closer to 3 is I put her in panties and told her no more diapers after about 5 accidents she got the point and went on the potty since

Leave her alone she isn't ready. Until she starts showing signs of wanted to be potty trained she won't be. And unless you pay for the use of your toilet at home it is for free...SHEESH

repitition is the key... get her a little potty chair and put it in the bathroom... dont put diapers on her... put training panties... its easier to tell when shes wet that way.. also, they dont want to keep them on as they get too uncomfortable... this will also give you an idea about how often she needs to go... save the diapers for bedtime... take her to potty with you everytime you go and encourage her to sit on her special potty and try to go... praise her for trying... and get realy excited and praise her when she does actually go... this will re-enforce her wanting to go "try".... and she gets the message that its okay to go there...
also make sure you ask her if she needs to go "try" about every thirty minutes when she has an accident..and she will... dont scold her for it... just say next time lets try to make it to your special potty... some girls train real easy, some dont... mine didnt get consistant with it until she was 3.. her doctor told me that 3 is about the age where they can control thier bladder and bowels... (knowing they need to go BEFORE they start going) so dont get discouraged is she has lots of accidents... just be consistant with your praise and encouragement... kids really want to please, so praise and encouragement works!!

well theres at least two ways i know how to... the 1st one is let her run around bare butt because she has learned that there needs to be something there to catch her pee and stuff and she will probably tell you when she has to go if it doesnt work you could always just time it like every 15-20 mins or something...deoending on how much she goes( you probably know an estimated time on when she goes...right?) and put her on the potty in that time!....my mom babysits thats how i know......plus i was once a baby too...lol...also you may want to check with your paents...how did they teach you?

what are you talking about for free? the child will go potty when she is ready and when you purchase a potty chair for her place in the bathroom near your toilet and she will surprise youo
