Started potty training DD2 (2.5) on Friday.
Day two we had one we accident and one poo accident and all the rest went in the toilet (she won't use potty).
Not a bad start, but day two was worse, probably about four accidents (inc one poo - though I'm not too bothered about poos atm, happy to tackle them separately once she's dry)
Yesterday was the worst day ever. Accidents all day - never asking to use or taking herself to the toilet. If I ask her is she needs the toilet she just shakes her head and "uh-uh" without even thinking about it. Just doesn't want to do it. Refuses to sit on the toilet at all sometimes.
Today she's been in knickers since she got up at 7 and had one accident and one wee on the toilet (after I put her on it).
I think she does actually know when she needs to go but has decided she doesn't want to do it. She's a very stubborn child.
Would you give up and leave it for a bit? I tried potty training about 6 weeks ago and gave up because she was just refusing to sit on the toilet unless I bribed her (obv haven't made that mistake this time).
It's frustrating as I know she can happily wee on the toilet. I'm 3 days in and worried if I give up and leave it another few months she still won't do it because she just doesn't want to.
