I have two kids ages 3 and 4. With my little girl I would let her run around the house with panties I neve bought her pull-ups. Its a waste of money. Everytime I would go to the bathroom I would take her with me and I would sit in the potty and she would sit in her own potty and if she used it I would sing and encourage her ( Make a big scene like its party) Try making up a song. Mine went like this Natalia used the potty, Shes a big girl. i forgot the rest. And if she drinks some water wait about 20 minutes or 30 and just go in the bathroom and ask her to join you. Good Luck Remember no pull-ups just panties

toddlers are usually ready at 2 or 21/2 . signs that she is ready
she tells you that she has to go, or that she did go
she is staying dry for at least two to three hours
she can concentrate on things such as being read to or can sit in a chair for 5 minutes or so
always use the positive, don't say you are not ready, say I am sure you'll be ready soon
and don't ask her if she wants to, just say ok, it's potty time. etc...
and patience will go a very long way, just don't force her
if she's not ready, back off for a few days and try again

first, you shouldn't tell her that she isn't ready. Always encourage her and tell her she is doing a good job. Maybe you can try always having her potty available so she can go to it when she feels the need. If she does go in her diapers, still encourage her and tell her she will do better next time.

This is what I did for my daughter.....
I would wake her up and guide her to the bathroom, sit her down, run the water, shed go and Id guide her back to bed. She would climb in bed and go right back to sleep. Then one night we were sitting in the dark living room waiting to wake her up, and we saw her get up on her own, sleep walk to the bathroom, go and then go back to bed. We were so happy! :)
If shes ready then you might wanna try this step.
If ya want you can try taking her every few hours. time her potties. once you get it down, then it should come natural to her and she should start doing it on her own.
