Potty Training.. Need Help!!

O.K. My daughter turned 2 this past July 15. When she was about 15-16m she was at least going pee on the potty. We bought her a small floor potty but she prefers the 'bigger' potty. The reason I need help is.. She refuses to go pee/poo on the potty. She absolutely hates wearing diapers, I've tried pull ups too, she hates the "bulkyness". Everytime she goes pee/poo in her diaper, she immediately takes it off & brings it to me. I'm at my wits end with trying to get her to go on the actual potty. I know you are not suppose to "rush" them but this is getting insane... I need help before I pull my hair out! She needs to be potty trained and soon!! Thanks!

Use cloth training pants and or underwear instead, it will be messy but it should get the message across that potty goes in the potty. If she doesn't like the little potty, get a toddler toilet seat for the big potty, you may have to hold her for a little while until she gets comfortable enough that she wont fall. I actually started with the small potty back when my daughter was 4 months and when we started hardcore training at 13 months, I had her using the big potty (then in order for her to use it all by herself I put the little potty back together). She will use either, but for some kids the small on is too small but the big one is too scary. Keep trying!
