Title says it all really. DD has just turned 3 and will not even entertain the idea of peeing in a potty or toilet. I can get her to sit on a potty (this in itself is progress from a few months ago) but she will not pee. She waits til she's off the potty and then just goes in her pants. She refuses to talk about it and if we try to talk about toilets, potties or her not wearing nappies she just refuses to engage, either putting her hands over her ears or over our mouths to stop us speaking. I have tried bribing her to do it but she us digging her heels in, big-style. We've also tried a variety of books, which she loves reading but refuses to copy. Just to be clear, we've tried all of these things over the course of the last few months, but we're not on her case about it all day every day!
I've been relatively relaxed about it up until now but since she turned three I really feel that she's old enough to do it and should be trained by now. Has anyone got any other suggestions about how to get such a potty-refuser to give it a go? Thanks!
