how long will she sit there? With my kids, at first, I would let them watch a video or something while sitting on the potty, just to build that experience of having peed or pooped in there, even if just by virtue of the length of time sitting.

Have you modeled for her what she has to do? Are you sure she understands what it is you are asking of her?

When/where is she currently peeing? You might try keeping a log of those times and then using timed intervals based on that information.

@lollipop: Poor mommy!

I also tried the 3 day method with complete failure. What was her reaction when she peed herself without diapers? Did she freak out and cry? Did she show an understanding that she needs to pee and poo in the potty?

I would talk to your pediatrician about this if I were you - our pediatrician did say 3 years old is the time to potty train - if your LO is waking up dry during nap and overnight (!) that is a sure sign of readiness - I would talk to the pediatrician about it. I would also talk to the preschool teachers about it to see what you can do. We had our own potty dilemma and that really really helped.

What worked for us was very cool underwears. I let him pick super cool Thomas the train underwear and explain to him he needs to remain clean and dry. Start with 1 hour each day. After a few accidents and cries, he got it. (And he didn't like the feeling of wearing something wet, which was the motivation to pee on the potty) But then he did produce pee and poo before when I sat him on the potty before bathtime....etc. Just thought that if you want to try something else that's something you can try!

Sorry I am of no help.... good luck!
