Potty training

I am reaching out before potty training causes me to have a nervous breakdown. My daughter is 3 in June and won’t be allowed in pre school untill she’s potty trained. We have been potty training since Boxing Day. This is active potty training tried everything but nothing seems to be working. We have three different styles of potty incase she didn’t like them. Tried the Winnie the Pooh method which was just 6 days of weeing on the floor. Sticker chart, promised gifts, tried making her sit on it every 45 mins, bought pants with her favourite characters on she loves them and just wees in them, we bought a toy potty to get her toys to use it with her. Nothing seems to be working she just isn’t interested and I’m close to just giving up now. She is really intelligent (not sure who she gets that from) and I’m not sure if she’s manipulating me because she knows eventually she will go back in a nappy or just does not care but I have no idea what to do now do I just give up and circle back in a couple of months or any other suggestion would be great before I’m rocking In the corner of the room.

Just wanted to say that it was around 4mths before my LG got potty trained and everything had completely clicked, so don't be beating yourself up! We did the oh crap method from about 2yrs3mths and less than a year later we're now completely nappy free (day and night)...although only recently we've been doing full night time and we're still getting to grips with that

@Colleen oh thank you that makes me feel better had so many people tell me they managed to get there’s potty trained in the space of 4 days and I feel like I’m going nuts

Yeah, I was the same....sister-in-law had hers all sorted in 3days and i was like, yeah cheers, thanks 😕

Just came to say it takes time and 100% feels like they just don't get it and then the next day it clicks! My son loved stickers for the first week and then couldn't care less about them. If you're been trying for awhile I highly suggest taking a reset day. Go out, do something fun together, and dont think about potty training at all! Sometimes the stress of potty training is overwhelming for our kiddos and us! We followed Oh Crap method as well. The Facebook groups are super helpful. It's been 4.5 months and my son now has it down(still working towards fully trained). He stays dry when out for hours, tells me when he has to go, and doesn't fight sitting on the potty unless he really doesn't need to go. Once I let go of the pressure and trusted him to go when he needed, it all clicked. Hang in there!

@Chelsea thanks that gives me a little bit of hope

It definitely takes time! I'd also say that we were using pull-ups when going out(because I didn't think he was ready/he wasn't telling me when he needed to go). And I think that made it a longer process. Once I ditched pull-ups other than for sleep, it all clicked. He stays dry when out and uses public potties or the one i have in the car. At home he's a little more relaxed so we tend to have a few more accidents
