My child did the same thing. I used Potty prizes, it took about 2 weeks for him to get it down, but potty prizes worked. Every time he would go on the big potty, he would get a small prize (hot wheels) and after 2 weeks of him going consistently, he got a big prize.....(remote controlled car) It was the best thing ever and he is still going and the potty prizes have diminished. It is worth a shot. You just have to find something that she REALLY LOVES would do anything to have, and that is what you use for the potty prize. I hope this helps!!

If she brings you a diaper before she has to go then she knows that she has to do it. First...don't take the diapers completely away yet...that's your clue that she's about to poop. When she brings you the diaper, put her on the potty and make her sit there until she poops. If she don't poop all day trying to hold it in for that diaper, then make her sit there all day until you see poop in that potty. If you miss and she poops her pants, teach her to scrub her pants out so she can do it herself. Eventually she will get tired of having to scrub out her panties and will stop pooping in them. Do not put a diaper on her...she's to big to be wearing them...just keep the few that you still have as a means of communication. Maybe she isn't sure how to tell you that she has to poop, so the diaper will be your visual cue. Everytime you see it in her hand it's a trip to the potty.

Your gonna have your hands full. I have potty trained two of my own and all I can say is CONSISTANCY! If you know when she is ready to go...put her on the potty, and yes she may kick and cry but as soon as she learns that you really mean business and that your not going to give up, she will. If you don't know when she's going to have a bowel movement I would put her on the potty every half hour, and make it fun.While you have time on your hands before the new baby comes, you can read to her, play with make-up, or whatevers fun for her. Everychild is different, so try a variety of techniques. good luck.

Let it be her thing and let up. She will do it when she is ready. Chances are if you say, "ok, when you are ready to be a big girl let me know" and just let her put her diaper back on that she will soon become potty trained. It is a control think at three!!! You cannot make her go to the bathroom. It is her choice and she knows it.

My daughter was the exact same way for about a month. Well have you tried putting her potty chair where she likes to be. I know for us we started with the potty chair in the living room where she felt more comfortable then we slowly moved it down the hall about every two days until we made it to the bath room. This worked for us it is worth a try. the worst thing you can do is nag her about it because she will refuse to do it more. Seems she has learned what makes you tick and is using it to her advatage. Just try the potty chair this way. oh yeah don't take it out of the room either. Also get rid of the diapers or put the out of her sight! Hope this helps!
