She is 3 years old and still wears pull ups! When she goes to daycare she uses the toilet when she's home she'll use it where ever she is. I've tried putting her in time out and even tried rewarding her for going to the bathroom but nothing is working. It seems like she does it on purpose to see how I react!

Do you send pullups with her to daycare or does she wear panties instead there?
Have you talked to the daycare to see how they reward and encourage her? Try adopting the same technique at home.
OR, along with what the previous respondent said regarding the chart, have the daycare use the chart you are going to implement at home. Send it to school each day with her and she brings it home at the end of the day so she sees the "rewards" adding up.
I've tried the "Cool Alert" pullups...they didn't help in training my little girl, but maybe they'll work for her. Have you tried taking away the diapers and putting her in panties so when she goes, SHE GOES..?
I have a jar of M&Ms in the bathroom where her stepstool and "Pooh potty" sits on the toilet. She wants the candies so she'll sit on the potty...now to get her to TINKLE and not just sit there and pretend to go. You might try a candy dish, just keep it AWAY from the toilet, like the far side of the sink. This also reminds her to wash her hands after she potties. :)
Just a few ideas...I hope this helps.

Take her to the store and let her pick out her own "Big Girl" underwear, like princess ones, or Dora, if she is into that. A lot of my friends did this and had no problems with potty training. Tell her that she can't wear the ones she picked out until she uses the toilet all the time.

You are exactly right. It has turned into a power struggle. She is testing you. You know she can do it so it is time to be firm. I would advise throwing away all pullups (unless you use them overnight of course), and putting her in underpants during the day no matter what. Then, if she has an accident, make her help clean it up, change her clothes, bathe her if necessary, and send her to her room for the rest of the day. Period. She will soon discover that YOU are the boss and give it up. Trust me, I did this with my four year old who is passive-aggressive and it worked to end her accidents.

I had this problem with my third child(I have 4) and what worked for us then was a star chart. You know a piece of paper with a grid on it and everytime they went potty and did not wet themself they got a star. When they got 10 stars they got a prize, then 25 and finally 50 I bought some "big kid underwear". I hope this works for you, after 50 potty trips they get it and if they can see the chart fill up it makes them happy.
Good luck!

it extremely is great which you have submit-its to disguise the sensor. have you ever tried keeping your renounce it so which you administration it precisely? perhaps you have executed each and every thing already, yet purely a tenet: Have her carry her renounce the sensor and then pass it away so she is conscious whilst it flushes. enable her push the little button that makes it flush so she is conscious there is better than one way. i think that the extra she is conscious the fewer she would be waiting to be afraid. i do no longer see how any bribing or punshments could be any help if she's quite afraid. sturdy success. i'm specific she would be waiting to ultimately out improve her refusal to apply the automated lavatories, if it is any convenience.

RELAX. Your stress will stress out your child. Ask them to tell you when they are weeing and try and get to the toilet. Reward them when they know they want a wee and hold it. Use rewards and don't worry about timing - nature has its own pace.

Well I was mean when I potty trained. When I knew they know how to use the potty and just didn't want to I would spank them. I spanked them and put them in the corner. That's how I did it. You know she CAN use the potty she just doesn't WANT to.

Pull-ups make accidents too easy - put her in underwear.... Yes, it is messy, but she will figure it out fast.
