Can anyone help with toilet training issues?

Hello!

I am trying to toilet train my 3 year old daughter but she keeps getting upset every time I ask her to use the toilet. She understands why people use the toilet and she knows when she needs to wee or poo. I have tried letting her sit on the toilet until something happens, sticker reward charts, food rewards for using the toilet but I am still not getting anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I am concerned that she wont be able to go to preschool in a few months if she doesnt learn soon.

Have you tried cutting a hole in a nappy/pull up and letting her go to the potty with the nappy/pull up on? She might like the security of her nappy/pull up and find it too scary on the big toilet with nothing on.

Try making it fun in there for her. You could sing songs or play eye spy or something similar. even read a book in there with her. But honestly is she’s not ready she wont go. Also have you tried a potty over a toilet? a lot of kids are scared of falling in

don’t stress mama! just keep trying, don’t make it a big deal. try to make it fun and she will do it and you will be sooo happy it is new so she just needs her time. i am sure that the daycare will be understanding.
