Potty Training Question

It's  not what you want to hear but she's not ready.  just cuz you want her out of diapers doesn't mean she's mature enough yet.  she has to be willing or you will spend the next year tearing your hair out.  you can't tell her how to hold her pee, she has to be developmentally at that point.  if she's not there yet you have to be patient and wait until she is.

pee and poop are one of the few things toddlers have COMPLETE control over.  the more you force it, the more she'll dig her heels in, because she can.  you'll add probably months (if not a year) to the process vs. just waiting until she's really ready and willing and knocking it out in a week or 2 (maybe even just a few days).   let her just get comfortable.  have her watch you.  if you have a potty seat, put it where she plays and let her explore.  you can try letting her run around naked as long as she doesn't object.  keep it casual and follow her lead.

Sorry I don't know.  At 2 my daughter loved to sit on the potty and was trying to pee pee in it and trained quickly.  Here's a good luck!

Has she watched you potty like a big girl? That's how we started with DS. We let him explore for a few months. If he wanted to use it great, if not, no worries. When he was consistently staying dry for 2 hours or more, we put him in undies. Within a few days he was consistently going pee pee In The potty. We are about 2.5 months in and he's about 80% there with poopy.

The biggest factor is she has to be ready.

Doesn't sound like she's ready.  Just wait... you have to train them when they are ready not when you are unfortunately.  If she's crying, she's not ready.  Sorry. 

My son wasn't potty trained until he was already 3.  

She's not ready plain and simple.

I was just discussing this with my son's teacher at daycare. If she's crying, she just isn't ready, yet. Give her a little while to at least get used to being around the potty. You couls try pointing out when you or daddy go into the bathroom to use the potty. Maybe show her how you use the potty. I had a chair in my son's room the same day we changed him over to a toddler bed. It took a while for him to get used to it being there, but he eventually started wanting to use the potty. His timing was off always asking after he had gone in his diaper, but he was associating the two sensations. We still haven't gotten the timing, but being in daycare has helped him. All the kids in his class that weren't potty trained were assigned a time to try the potty, at first. They moved up to trying a few times a day and whenever they ask to use it.

I started trying training about 18 months and my daughter just wasn't ready.  She was nearly 3 before it really sunk in and then she was just done with it.

 Is she able to tell you when she has to go? If not, I think it's too early. She seems like she's not ready and very uncomfortable, and if you force the subject it will just make things harder on both of you.

I understand the desire to get her out of diapers, but you need to be patient. Potty training is on their terms and timeline, not yours.

She's not ready momma.

I do parent lead training. I had this issue with dd at first (now 25 months and day time trained). We read Princess of the Potty a lot (she's into princesses). I put her in underwear or kept her naked from the waist down all the time (absolutely no diapers). If she peed I'd take her to the potty. If she didn't want to sit, we'd try again in half an hour or when she started to pee again and treat it as no big deal. I stayed persistent and she got over it.
