When's the best time to start potty training

[kjq]

I've been trying for months to introduce potty or pan to dd1 (she's 26 mths)but she's still refusing. If i take her nappy off first thing she just screams her head off, then 5 mins later would happily sit on potty for an hour, still with no result. She then demands her nappy on until I can stand her cries no longer. I'm I doing it all wrong? Should I be training at another time of day or at the weekend when dh is at home? I really want her out of nappies before the summer.

When they are ready. My DD was ready at 24 months and my DS was DS was 3.2 years. They both more or less just trained themselves and were dry night and day within a week. I think if you try and they are not ready, you'll just end up having lots of annoying accidents.
