Toilet training

So my 3 years 8 month old DD has been quite resistant to toilet training. I try and be as child led as possible and hadn’t seen many signs of readiness, so I haven’t forced the issue. Over the last week, I saw some signs that made me feel she’s ready so I took the plunge today. She’s done brilliantly and done numerous wees on the potty/toilet but she’s not quite there with the poos which is fine. I’m just a bit concerned about how frequently she is needing to go for a wee. She’s been a superstar and told me every time she needs to go but this seems to be every half an hour! When she’s on the toilet, I can hear the wee coming out but it’s only a little bit at a time. I’m just a bit worried about leaving the house without quick access to a toilet. Is this a normal stage? Will she go longer the more she dies jt? Any experience welcome!

My daughter 2 years 5 months just got over this stage it lasted about three weeks and it was literally every fifteen mins but I just persevered

Number twos took few weeks so perfect

Totally normal

it's normal, it's novel and as we collect urine all the time there'll always be a little there. the novelty will wear off and she'll learn when she really needs to go soon enough.
