Most likely she just isn't ready yet. Each child has his/her own timetable for potty training. One trick a friend of mine used was to put big girl panties on, then the pull-up over that. That way, the child feels wet, but there is protection there to keep the clothes dry. You could also switch to cloth diapers to keep the cost down. Good luck.

Are you trying to get her to use the adult toilet, or does she have a little kiddie potty? My daughter had a little potty that she'd use for about 6 months before moving on to the big toilet. And even then, we had a little seat for her to use.
Maybe taking her shopping and letting her pick out a little potty, if she promises to try using it? Start out with just having her sit on it for a minute or so at a time, even if nothing happens.
You could also try those pull-ups that let the kid know when they're wet. I think some of them have a "cool" sensation when wet.
My daughter was closer to 3 before she was always using the toilet consistently. I think it's normal to have setbacks. You might want to try a chart with stars for every time she sits on it, and give her a big gold star when she actually does something in it. Then tell her when she gets 5 gold stars or something, you'll take her out for ice cream.

For my son it became into greater like we've been those being knowledgeable! i might take a seat in the bathing room with him and study him a narrative and sell grunting (i might take a seat on the realm of the tub and make a face and perform a little grunting) I additionally gave him a pair of small toys to play with. we'd try this approximately each and every twenty minutes after he ate. This labored great for him!! he's now 12 years previous and specific he nevertheless performs with wrestlers whilst he's on the pot! Pooping is all approximately being comfortable and for a 2 year previous sitting on a potty for long sessions so which you will possibly be able to desire to make it relaxing!

Try rewarding her for going to the bathroom. I would suggest that you try taking her every hour and letting her sit on the potty. If she doesn't do anything then she doesn't get a treat, if she does then let her have one. I also suggest sticking to a small treat, such as a marshmellow, m&m, skittles, hershey kiss. This will eventually settle with her and she should be going in no time. Don't give her choices tell her it is time to go to the bathroom and try.

take her once an hour every hour and sit her on the potty make her sit there for several minutes. if she goes great if not try again in half an hour and reserve diapers for her for nap times and outing outside of the house where potties are harder to find. put panties on her, dont punish if she wets just take her to the potty sit her there and tell her this is where you go. this works its how i trained my son

Don't worry~~ maybe she just isn't ready. There is no set time table for when they need to be 'potty trained'. If you're worried about the cost of diapers, perhaps you can try using 'pull-ups' and she'll want to keep them dry longer if they're 'pretty and girly'. good luck

Keep offering it to her. But dont be too pushy this is a big step for her. What helped me with my daughter was to put her around older children who were potty trained and she seen they got to wear panties. She thought that was great. Plus it helps to reward them when they do finally decide to go. Just to stress her about it she will eventually go when she decides she is ready.

You can try rewards, games, etc (bomb the Cheerios is a favorite!), but if she resists - I'd hold off for a while, otherwise you'll BOTH end up frustrated. Try again in a month.
Good luck!!

Did you try an incentive? We've used "potty candy" (M&Ms) and sticker charts for our kids and it motivated them to go.
