My just turned 3 year old has started potty training. She's been in the big girl knickers and controls her bladder to the point where she only releases when her nappy goes on at bedtime. What do I do? She sits on the potty but doesn't do anything

Patience and perseverance! It takes time. Don't give up when she's showing that she has control. Give her plenty of fluids. She'll get the hang of it.

Gotcha! I'm literally waiting for her to have an accident so she learns from it! But her control is too good! Haha is this a sign she's ready or not ready? If she doesnt want to release on the potty?

Our twins have been trained since 2 you have to put them on the toilet,no nappies etc. Saves a fortune once there doing nights and days. There 3 now and just take themselves to the toilet when they want it. It's funny in the morning hearing them run for the toilet when they first wake up as to who gets there first

Thats great. So do you think she's ready if she's scared of the toilet and potty but has good control?

Maybe writing on this thread worked as she did her first wee on the potty this afternoon! Haha
