Hard one! My 32 month old was relatively easily but found the less attention I gave the issue the better she became, we got her a potty and seat adapter and whichever she wants she goes to is fine and no comment is made except to praise a dry pair of pants.
That was the thing that worked for us, screaming was loud but only pants through the day, which i changed when wet for another pair of pants. She hated them getting wet!
However we are getting the same screaming as I have change bedtime nappy for pull ups as she informed me she had to wee wee in her nappie cause the didn't come down. So the whole lot to go again for nappie coming of at night!
disposible mats where great to put on the car seats and fabric chairs at friend's house.

Well if you are a "deputy manager" of a day care then you SHOULD know that it is best to allow the child to decide to potty train on her own rather than going through a battle trying to FORCE her to potty train. I was assistant supervisor in a day care facility for three years and we NEVER advocated forcing a child to potty train, regardless of their age. If the parents wanted to go through the battles at home they were free to do so, but we were much too busy caring for other children to do battle with a child who wasn't ready. Obviously that is what your child has been trying to tell you for the past three months but you simply for some reasons haven't been paying attention.

Goodness 3 years old and not trained! From what you say, this child is not yours and may well not have the sort of home life that one would hope a child would receive.
I cant see the point of putting achild on the potty if she's not going to go. I would think maybe a bribe chart (or star chart) might work, and make her go into the loos with the other kids to see them going, and getting praise for going.
She may be getting MORE attention by not going and therefore it may be better to leave her. She will poo in her pants and then the other kids will comment and call her a baby. Maybe that will motivate her - peer pressure.

That litle girl is obviously not ready/interested as she's figured out it was a lot more fun to wind up every adult around...
Stick her back in nappies and explain this has to be done because she is obviously not ready to be dry and you will be available to take her through the motions when she's ready.
If she decides it's hurting her ego, state the rules and get going.
She's three, she'll understand you're not game any longer since she's clever and manipulative enough...
Use a toilet training seat, she's too big to go on the potty now. BabyBjorn do a really good one that fits on every loo.
Have fun!

My daughter didn't have any interest what so ever in potty training, I tried bribes, a special potty chair.. she could care less. I tried the run free with no diapers thing (it's supposed to make them aware of thier parts) she would just life her leg and pee on the floor. UUGHHH... finally I discovered her love of dora and bought three packs of dora panties. She wanted to wear them over her diapers but I wouldn't allow it. I made a point of showing her my undies, "see, mommy wears big girl panties".She held tough for about 2 weeks, then one day she asked to wear her panties and go pee pee in the potty. She's been trained since. I just had to find that one thing she really wanted.

each and every thing you're doing is great already all of them learn at diverse fees and she or he gets there. attempt to no longer make it a capability conflict with the aid of fact little females could be obdurate my extraordinarily much 3 year previous is the comparable. If she senses you getting disillusioned, pissed off or stressful approximately potty training it is going to grow to be an argument for her additionally. you will possibly desire to attempt a commonplace tale or music that mutually as she is on the potty/rest room you 2 can examine/sing mutually so it makes it exciting to pass and not her thinking the feared potty. (see you later as you may take care of the consistent journeys to the potty so she will have her commonplace tale/music lol) Does she have a commonplace doll who she might desire to ensure on the potty enable her think of her 'clever dolly' executed a poop it worked for my daughter she needed to be only like her toddler lottie. I additionally tried the charts and take care of rewards yet what incredibly worked for my daughter became right into a penny for a pee and 2 pennies for a poop as she has slightly till finally and shop and she or he might use her 'peepee pennies' as they became widely utilized in her shop and after a mutually as have been given a clean accessory to pass into her shop from the super shop. that's trial and mistake yet you will discover what fits your daughter and then sooner or later the educational will only be executed.

My son wouldn't go on the potty so I got him a training seat and he wouldn't go on that either. I bet him he couldn't p on an ice cube and sat him on the toilet, from then on he went on the toilet with the aid of a step. After a week we no longer needed the ice cube. Make it fun and see how you get on, it sounds strange but it did the trick!!!

try getting a bunch of her favorite stickers, explain to her that if she pees in the potty she can have a sticker, start a sticker chart then if she poops she should get two stickers. Then at the end of the day she can call her grandparents or other family members to tell them how many stickers she got!
