Put a sticker chart on the wall next to the toilet everytime she sits on the toilet tell her she gets a sticker.. Fill a bucket full of good stickers and have her pick out the best one and then tell her she can have it after she goes to the bathroom.. Have her stick it on the sticker chart and tell her if she does that next time she will get one again.. See if that works..

Its all true, and I did find out thru a doctor that when the children are ready they will go,

one of my grdbabies just started going by herself and no one was even noticing she wore pull ups and this was just awesome she said i want girlie panties now, she was 2

but the boys seem to be more harder to teach but we just decided to give one of my grandsons a target game in the toilet and he had to hit it in order for it to work, and also reading, well these worked for me so good luck

hi,this was hard for me at the time my son was almost going on 4 when finally he was trained by my mlaw she states that she just let him see his poopy and told him it was nasty and hes a big boy,my son felt gross about it and asked to be changed right away,she then gave him positive comments and went out and bought him spider man underwear that was his favorite at the time. after that he only had maybe 2 accidents and did well after that. I say dont pressure them to much and dont be asking them all the time "do you need to go potty' they will eventually get grossed about the accidents they are having and want to use the potty, hope this helps

I had a similar problem. My 3yo would do the potty dance in circles and then pee in her undies. After a few days of having to clean her up and the floor up many times a day, I decided to spank her, put her in time out, I explained to her why she was there, and that it was NOT ok to pee in her undies, told her she was a big girl and she already knew how to use the big potty. I think I did that twice that day and that fixed that problem.

i used to read a fairy tale to my eldest girl that had the same problem as yours and never had the problem again. it takes a little of your time but think it's effective
