for help with peeing try this..... go to peterpotty.com. I bought on for my oldest son when he refused to stand up to pee. the day i got it he used it and has stood ever since. the day we got it we went to dinner at a resteraunt that evening and when he had to go pee he walked right up to the toilet and stood there and went and that was after one day of having the peter potty. I am now using it with my middle son and it's going great. hope this helps.

Do you have a little plastic potty? My daughter didnt seem to want to go into the bathroom so at first I put her potty in the livingroom where she felt comfortable and safe. I kept her in panties all day, she had a few accidents but didnt like being wet and learned quickly, i also gave her tons of positive reinforcement and sometimes treats! Ive heard sticker charts work very well! Maybe if you let her watch you go, teach her how to flush and let her do it when she has gone on the potty she wouldnt be so scared!! Good Luck!!
