Just looking for some advice about potty training my daughter, she will be 3 in January. We bought a couple of potty's a few months ago, she knows what the potty is for and plays with them by putting her toys on them for a wee. She has even done a wee on the potty and was really pleased with herself.
Last weekend we attempted to start potty training, she wouldn't wear her pants (which I know is normal) and then had a couple of accidents which we didn't make a fuss of but when we suggested she try to go on the potty she was getting really upset and almost distressed about it so we popped her nappy back on and left her for the week.
Today we've attempted to start again and this morning asked her to have some nappy free time but again she's getting really upset about the idea.
My question is, do they have to want to potty train? Is her reaction normal or a sign she is not emotionally ready to potty train?
Any advice welcome!!! Thank you.
