I've been working with her for over 3 months to get pottytrained. She'd come to me & tell me she had to go & even went all by herself several times. Now she doesnt do anything but sit there & go in her panties. In fact she even took them off yesterday & went in the floor! Why is she backtracking, it's getting so frustrating.

It sounds like she wasn't ready to go. Put her back in diapers, and give her some more time. 1 week is nothing.
If you want her out of diapers, you can try the Super nanny or Dr. Phil's method. I don't know how they work, or what is involved.
My daughter decided no more diapers just before her 2nd birthday, and my son is going on 3 with no interest.

i would not put her back in diapers.... i would take the initiative and take her to the potty every hour... and when she sits on it .. make a big deal and when she pees on it make an even bigger deal.
You can do a rewards system... every time she sits on the potty she gets either a star or a small trinket.. and when she pees she gets another star or trinket.
You can even start a star chart.. and by the end of the day and she does well.. and gets soo many stickers or tokens she gets a bigger gift...
I would give my son a car for sitting..... one for peeing... and one for pooping.
One week is an accomplishment.. but sometimes they get a little frightened and backstep a bit.. i changed totally from diapers and use undies all day.. and pullups at night.
Potty training doesnt happen over night. Stick with it..
It might help to find something she likes to give her each time she sits on it.. and one mroe if she actually pees in it. (taht way she doesnt have to wait till all the way the end of the day) ... and u can give her an extra treat if she stays dry all day.
HTH's.
Good luck and don't get too fustrated. Most of us take it for granted that we just have to pee and go... it can be hard to have them consistantly go pee somewhere else than the place they did for 3 years of their life.

you have to be consistent, shes backtracking because she wasnt trained,. instead of asking her just get up once an hour and take her to the potty and sit her there for several minutes if she goes praise if not tell her we will try again in a little while
watch her if you see her grabbing herself or getting jittery or even pacing or squatting rush her to the toilet
and put her on it and wait until she goes give her a special book that she only gets on the potty.

I just potty trained my son and daughter. What worked for me was The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com I started by just setting it at the toilet. My kids immediately climbed up on the stool and discovered that they could safely use the toilet. This got them very interested in using the toilet and they were potty trained very quickly. Plus, I really like the "no pressure" approach to potty training.
I like that I don't have to double the steps of potty training by training them first in a potty and then training them to stop using a potty. And not dumping and cleaning a potty each time is great. The best thing is that kids use it for years. I hope this helps you.

My 4 year previous son had the impressive comparable subject a pair of year in the past. He could be so busy enjoying that he could attempt to hold it and carry it till he could finally have an accident and then he could conceal it because of the fact he did not opt to get in difficulty and much greater because of the fact he did not opt to end doing regardless of it replaced into long adequate to get all wiped sparkling up. We tried staying calm and reasoning with him. We tried taking issues away. We tried yelling and spanking (considering the fact which you think of not the rest has worked and he's conscious the thank you to bypass in the potty). We tried treats. He could be nice for a week or 2 and then it could ensue lower back. finally, after Halloween final year we had lots of candy in the bowl left over. He saved inquiring for it and we instructed him he could desire to compliment after he went poopy in the potty. He has not made a multitude considering the fact that. something approximately that great purple bowl (nonetheless the Halloween bowl) packed with all varieties of diverse candy that he gets to compliment from on a daily basis. it incredibly is like his own own holy grail. it incredibly is attending to p.c... i don't comprehend why. we've of direction replenished the bowl in many cases so as that there are a number of various issues to compliment from. incredibly, some days incredibly of nerds or candy brownies he will p.c.. little programs of yogurt lined raisins or little gummy snacks made with actual fruit. i think of i could desire to thoroughly fill it with healthful snacks and it could artwork merely as properly. yet i don't opt to clutter with a robust difficulty. One piece of candy an afternoon is a small value to pay for now not having to wipe my son's hiney.
