My wife and I having been trying to get her potty trained. We have been able to get her to go pee, but not # 2. She will not always go pee on the potty, but she knows when she has to go. When she has to go # 2 she will go hide some where and grunt.
What is the best way to get her trained? She has to be potty trained to go to preschool.

Little kids love doing what the big people are doing. It sounds gross but maybe if you put her on the potty in the bathroom while you or your wife do a #2. Teach her by example that that's where #2's go.
(Ensure you have good ventilation though!! lol)

That is very common she will learn soon she just is not ready my son did the same thing for about 1 1/2 months hed go poo under the table for some reason or hold it as long as he could until he got a diaper on . I tried every thing and could not find much that would help . I let him run around naked and when he pooed on the floor I would diciplin him and tell him he is supposed to do that on the potty . When he did go on the potty I would clap and make a big to do out of it he eventually got it ! Good Luck .

Sometimes children who are potty training are afraid when they see their pop leaving them. You can just keep encouraging her to try using the potty for # 2. You can also let her know that its okay that its leaving her, that it has a new special place to go. Don't punish or get angry at her. This can cause her to hold it in and she could end up with medical issues, that could harm her and be costly.

A counselor can help you with that. Remember that kids process information in a different way, she interprets that her poo is something that came from her body ergo it belongs to her, it is a part of it, if you throw it away you are disposing of a part of her body. Children are bothered by that. Also never show disgust no matter how solid or smelly the poo is, we made a ceremony of sending off mr. poo on an adventure, dump the contents and flush the tank, she even waved goodbye. You are resourceful parents and I'm sure you know you kid better than anyone else.

Patience. My daughter did the same thing. One day, she just decided to use the potty for 2 as well.
You can buy fun wipes to put next to the potty to try and make it fun.

Your child is a person, a unique individual. Be patient with her and have no expectations. Expectations are based on a load of bull. Einstein did not speak until he was three. She is as individual as a fingerprint. Don't pressure her or make her feel uncomfortable about this most natural prices. She is finding herself and who she is and she needs your support. This is a most personal process and you do not have to keep up with what is expected. Love her and support her, and encourage, but be gentle. She is much more of a full person than we give our children credit for. Believe it or not, she knows what is best for her about this very personal thing. Children are not encumbered by the "laws" of society. Let them be for as long as possible. Respect them the way you want to be respected. Good luck, you are awesome for caring enough to ask!

What worked for my daughter was putting her right in underwear. I would also look for those telltale signs of having to go #2 and take her and sit her on the potty.

well, she sounds like she is getting close. if she is hiding, that's the beginning. we had the same issue with our daughter. she always liked the training pants. they make them these days with all those pretty designs but it just makes it more difficult to make that transfer to panties. we would let her set in her own poo poo for a little while. not too long! then she started to ask us to change her diaper/training pant. she gradually began to catch on. we didn't push it too much. they will go at their own pace.
so,then we stopped buying the training pants. so,she had no choice but to put on panties(buy plenty of panties because of accidents).
just be patient. it will happen soon.

REWARDS REWARDS REWARDS. Stickers, lollipops. Talk about being a big girl, and "just like mommy" type stuff. You could put her in underwear right away, but it depends on your childs attitude, if she doesn't care, then she won't care is she wets herself. But it might work! You could try. But I have found that tell her she should like just like mommy and reward her have worked for many children.
