Potty training help needed

At this point, any help is welcomed! A little context before hand, we have a girl and we have tried many different methods. Sticker chart or a treat after going doesn't seem to motivate, no clothes method got dangerous as she would pee and then run and slip over it right away before I could get her or clean it up and taking her every 30 minutes just made her fight us and we had to stop cause it started making her not wanna go into the bathroom at all, I've even tried making her wear normal underwear in her pull ups and nothing has worked. She shows all the signs of being ready and she loves to tell one parent when the other parent is using the bathroom, so she understands I just don't know what to do. I wouldn't be stressing about it, but every preschool we have looked into requires day time potty trained.

Ok so my daughter was potty training in two days I went straight to underwear you say you already tried that.. does she likes to help cuz sometimes I tells my daughter to help her toys by showing them how to do thing. I found out that sometimes is the best for her to do it. My girl was potty trained at 26 months. Maybe at beginning you need to help her.

@Clarisa She loves to help, I'll have to try she has like 5 baby dolls she loves to mimic stuff we do with them.

She might just not be ready. My daughter will come in while I'm in the bathroom, pull her pants down and sit on her little potty, but never goes. The minute she's back in her diaper/pull ups she goes, so we're becoming familiar. She might just need the same at this point

The things that helped potty training my 28 month old were: - “Potty Training in three days” book (quick read that takes you step by step and works if you stick with it - Only use undies during the day, no diapers/pull ups except for bedtime/naptime - water cup to drink plenty of water - no screen time for yourself or your little one at least for three days that way you can pay attention to get cues of when she’s about to go potty and you can take her to the toilet. (This could be like touching their privates, freezing while doing an activity, looking at their belly, hiding, etc) when you notice it happening rush them to the potty and even if they have an accident continually remind them that “it’s okay but tell mommy/daddy when you need to go potty” That way they also don’t feel embarrassed and it’s a positive experience too - when you have to go potty have them come along so they can witness you also going potty and describing each other part (sitting, flushing, washing hands)

Whatever method you use, the biggest thing is consistency. If you’re doing the naked method, stick with it. I did the Oh Crap book and she suggested sticking it out a couple days in a small, no rug room and just fully watch her. No distractions for you, just fully watch her for signs of needing to go and her actually going so that you can quickly get her on the potty as she’s going. Staying in one room would make it easier to get to her before she can slip in it but it does happen still. You can put on some slipper shoes on her to try to prevent it but still keep her naked. Get some you don’t mind her getting dirty obviously but Temu has some for like $3! I did a treasure chest with dollar tree items and that helped us a lot. We took the potty with us to every room when we got it down some but we stayed in our dining room for like 3 days first.
