Do not put pull ups on her because it is the same as a diaper. Let her go and sit for as long as she wants and just make it fun for her sing a potty song and praise her if she goes. Buy her some very pretty panties something with a charachter she love. For my daughter it was Dora and I just told her try not to pee pee on Dora. She had a few accidents and then one day she just said Mommy I want to wear my Dora panties and I am not going to pee in them I am going to go in the potty. Ever since then she has!! Good Luck and my daughter was almost 2 and a half before she got the hang of it!!

If the opportunity is available to you , make an effort to take her to the potty at the same time everyday. Watch when she goes during the day, which may mean you are checking her diaper every hour. Reward her even for the effort of sitting on the pot, even if she does not go. Use stickers or other cheap gadgets as prizes. Show her the prizes ahead of time to let her know what she will earn if she sits on the potty. When she does sit down , turn on the water at the sink. Inevitably, the sound makes you go. When you have figured out when she goes most often , i.e, after snack , lunch, excitement, etc., take her before the normal time occurs. Give her a book that will hold her interest and only give it to her in the bathroom. Good Luck , As a Pre-Preschool teacher, I potty train 6 toddlers everyday. I only get 8 hours a day with them , I don't get to control what happens at home, which to be honest is frustrating. I know I usually get more time with them than their working parents do.

Only once? Thats great. Be sure and praise her every time she does. I didn't start training my kids until my first one was 3. I just did it when they were ready. I fed them when ever I ate and drank and when I had to go I had the potty in the bathroom and they would try the same thing. The more you push the more they will push when they get older for their kids. In the book Potty Training in less than a day it says to put diapers on them and when ever they poop to take off their diapers and dispose the poop in the potty chair. To make it easier I use coffee liners in their PC.

Get her excited about using the potty tell her how the rest of the family go potty all the time. When she starts going potty all the time she can wear big girl underwear (special kinds like princesses or whatever she is into).

It is a process, she might not be ready yet, if she isn't she isn't going to do it no matter what you do to encourage her. With my son when he was little we tried pull ups and found that he didn't realize when he went and it would end up a big mess. So one day we decided today is the day... we bought him 9 pairs of under ware, and put them on. We went about our day and he used the potty in the grocery store and in walmart, he had one accident that day in the video store and had to ride home wet (a 3 min ride) he never had another accident again. We also tried a "Good Boy" chart on the fridge. Every time he did #1 he got a little sticker and when he did #2 he got a big sticker.

Say_tay's rules for potty training:
1. Change EVERY diaper in the bathroom.
2. Throw out the pull-ups, they let kids be lazy. Diapers or underpants
3. Take her to the potty once an hour, and anytime you go to the potty.
4. Praise sucess, and make a BIG DEAL about "accidents" without punishing. ie "Poop and pee are gross. Yuck you have pee on you GROSS"

when you go to the bathroom invite her to come along and let her see that you are using the potty and tell her that that is what big girl do so they can wear big girl under wear. Buy her her favorite character that would happen to be on the under wear. My daughter is three and she is not completely potty train her self. she will pee on the toliet but refuses to poop on the toliet. She wears pull ups and I do allow her to just wear her under wear around the house because only place to put it is in the toliet. She loves to be called mommys big girl so it encourages her to keep going on the toliet. Trying saying things that might encourage her to want to use the potty. make sure she knows that she can do.

She might not be ready to potty train. Kids will let you know when they are ready to potty train. The best thing is for her to, regularly, be in a setting with other kids her age who are potty training. I work in day care and have seen it happen. One kids starts potty training then their friends want to. That's the best advice I have.

Try putting panties on her several hours a day at first, & when you take her, you use the potty too, show her how to wipe & wash her hands , she will eventually learn, but you have to go to, and be very excited when she does something. I used to sing a bubble song when we washed our hands. Pretty soon she will want to go.
