3 year old total refusal

Hi, I’ve a 3 year old girl (October born) who is refusing to do anything in the potty. She will sometimes sit on it, but reluctantly. She hides when she poops and asks to change her nappy straight away if she wees etc.

We tried the 3 day method over the summer and she did well for a few days and then started holding everything for hours so we stopped.

I think it’s anxiety.. anyone any tips or positive stories?

No SEN, but she is fiercely independent and headstrong!

Adding that we’ve kept it all positive, she’s never in trouble for accidents etc!

She's not ready. Leave it a few months.
