Potty training

My daughter is gonna turn three years old on the 26th of December. The nursery have been saying our friends go on the toilet and they think she’s ready as she’s starting to tell them when she’s weed and stuff like that. I tried for about two weeks to potty trainer, no nappies apart from at night. pants the whole day she done about two peas and two weeks in the potty apart from that she’s been pooing herself and weeing on the floor and really reluctant to go on the potty and she’s been holding her wee in for 4 hours and when she can’t hold anymore, she’ll just wee herself and she’ll still carry on playing and doing what she’s doing. It doesn’t bother her that she’s weighed herself as anyone else’s child like this and what can I do to help her potty train as it’s really stressful for me as well as a parent as well as it is for her?

Have you got a potty in the lounge? A reward chart with stickers? Let her watch a YouTube video about it etc?

@Michelle yeah I tried a chart and she has a potty in the same room as hers she doesn’t seem to be bothered

What I do with my own daughter till this date even though she is potty trained, I often find myself reminding her to go and sit in her potty even if she doesn't want to do anything. It is hard at times, but I sometimes have to bribe her into sitting in the potty, and guess what more often she ends up doing something. Maybe try to remind her every few minutes if you noticed she hasn't been for hours and if she refuses, try to bring whatever she was playing with next to her potty or her favourite toy, or you could role play using the potty with a stuffed toy. That could help her

Our son was the same but we persisted and 2 weeks was kinda the turning point for us and now he is trained. However, going through a regression at the moment. If she isn't ready that is totally okay and you can take a break, but from my experience, I would try get through that first 2 weeks and see if there is a slight improvement. We did lots of high 5s and praising/dancing even if he didn't make the potty in time but tried to get there. Lots of reassurance and love if he had an accident. If he did a poo on the floor we just picked it up and says "poo goes in the potty". C
