Not quite sure what to do about this really. I was advised by people to leave it until she was ready and not push it. We've done this but there are no signs that she's ready to train and I've started to feel embarrassed about the situation as it feels like it's a reflection in our parenting. She's a very strong willed child and the more you push something the more she digs her heels in. Her speech and language is advanced for her age so there is no issue with communication.
We're going to start a sticker chart and this morning we put her in pants after she saw them in her drawer. I sat her on the potty (she refused to sit on the toilet) but unsurprisingly did nothing although complained that it was cold. Then she went upstairs to play and we found that she had done a wee on the floor. I find it hard to stay calm and don't relish the house smelling of wee and poo constantly. We've got a 4 month old and she does appear to have regressed a little since he was born - she wants to be carried and use her baby cups etc. Any advice gratefully received!
