Lots of patience and common sense. A trip to your local library won't hurt.

How old is the kitten?
If its around a month old, all you have to do is show her the litter box, lift her up and put her paws directly on the litter sand or watever.
Move one of her paws on the sand in a scratching motion and shell get the idea.
Some cats are wiser than the rest and some may need to be shown the litter box training a couple of times before they get it.
Do the same for the food cups, dont put the food near the litter, and in the event that she poops anywhere else outside the litter just clean up and put her food cups there ^^
fact: cats dont poop where they eat
oh and congratulations!!
She or he will ve a bundle of fun and joy for quite a while!! ^^

When you bring a new kitten into your house it needs to be confined to a small space, a spare room or bathroom with its needs, food, water, litterbox and a comfy place to sleep.
Do not let the kitten have the run of the house. It is too little and immature neurologically to search for a litterbox when it has to "go". Bring the kitten out for a few hours every day when you are present to watch it and protect it from getting stuck in a strange place where you can't reach it.
The kitten will use the litterbox in her own space and soon learn the "lay of the land" in your house.

I've never had a problem...w/cats...just put their food dish near the litter box for a while and they'll get the idea... cats are pretty smart and much easier to house train than dogs.

Just keep showing her the litter box. It should only take a few times and then she knows where to go. Cats are so much easier than dogs.

the first thing you need to do is put them down directly inside the litter box, so they know where it is and what it smells like. watche them, and you will start to learn their habits. what they do before they have to pee or whatever. when you see them looking suspicious, make sure you say "NO" and carry them to the litterbox. it's worked on all of the cats I've had in my lifetime...including the 2 I have now.
