have you tried a book or video for children that shows pictures of toddlers on the potty chair? Would a child's seat on the big potty help?
Maybe bring her in the bathroom and make a game you sit on the big potty (you don't have to be indecent) and she sits on the little one. Get some dolls and sit the dolls on the potty - maybe you can get one of those dolls that you feed a bottle and she 'pees' you can make her go in the potty and let your daughter see that dolly can go in the potty.
I would not worry too much at this age though. I used two vastly different methods to potty train my two daughter and both of them started going on their own at 3.

Potty training a girl can be a daunting task for any parent. This holds especially true if the father is the one doing the training. Most parents wonder where to start. The trick to successful potty training is making it fun. Celebrate the training and, especially, the victories. Have some sort of reward system in place so that your little girl gets rewarded for using the toilet like a big girl. By making training fun, your little girl will begin using the toilet in no time and you' ll proudly be able to say that you finally changed your last diaper.

Show Her

When beginning potty training for a girl, you must first show her what you expect of her. This can be done by watching mommy. If that is uncomfortable, or a single father is doing the training, then there are other options as well. Many products are available today for the sole purpose of teaching potty training. Items used for successful potty training include potty training dolls, videos, audio tapes, books as well as specially made plastic toilets. Each of these items has their advantages and using them in combination will more than likely bring quick results. The best part is that each of these items is designed to make potty training fun.

When potty training a girl, not only must you show her that she has to sit down but you must also show her to wipe. The videos and books are great for teaching her how to do this.

A great idea when potty training a girl is to have a plastic potty training toilet in some part of the house. These are great because some children are intimidated by having to use the adult toilet. They may fear falling in or maybe they' re just intimidated by its size. Whatever the reason, by having a smaller, plastic toilet, she will begin to feel that it is hers. She will want to use it. Have some toilet paper handy near the toilet so that she remembers to wipe when she is finished.

Celebrate It

When she goes, celebrate it. Give her plenty of praise and reward her with something. By having a reward system in place, she will want to use the toilet. Remember, when potty training a girl, make it fun. Make her want to do good; pretty soon, you' ll be able to throw out those diapers for good.

When she has accidents, don' t scold her. Everyone makes mistakes. Just view it as a stepping stone, a necessary aspect of learning and get right back to training. Sometimes, a setback can be used as a training tool and you can turn the negatives into positives and your child won' t hinder progress by being too hard on herself.

When potty training a girl, make it fun, reward her when she does good and never scold her for having an accident. Children don' t think of it as learning when they' re having fun. If you' re short on ideas, go out and buy a book on the subject or one of the many products designed for potty training your child. Potty training a girl doesn' t have to be a scary subject. It can and should be fun. Soon, your little girl will be all grown up and you' ll find you miss many things; more than likely, dirty diapers aren' t one of them.

It has to be a natural process. It is very important that she feels comfortable with the potty chair. Making it her own, let her play with it any way she likes, and explore it so that she is not afraid with it. Talk to her about going to the potty as something natural, and if you want to start the training go together do your thing. It worked on my daughter!!

Try getting the little kid seat that fit over the big potty. She may not like her little potty because she isn't used to it or it isn't what you use. Also, ask her about every 15 min. if she has to go to the potty. This should help. You may have to buy a little stool though to help her get the big potty

You know kids are a lot smarter then people gives them credit for. The fact that she doesn't like the feel of dirty diaper, show her that going on the potty will get rid of that problem. She will learn soon enough. Like I said kids are really smart.

She is showing signs of not being ready to potty train yet. Wait a few weeks and try again.
