My 3 year old is not toilet trained

Hi all, hoping for some advice, my daughter is the youngest of 3. She is 3 and is still not toilet trained. She is adamant about not doing it even though she understands the concept. We tried earlier this year but she hated it and so I stopped because I didn't want it to be a bad experience. Nursery starts in September, I'm running out of time....what should I do?

Have you tried to start again? The weather is getting nice. Just allow naked bum and accidents. If you show that this is what you want and no return she will have to adjust. Invest in some stickers and behaviour charts. They work for some kids. X

Good morning, have you tried her favourite character on her pants? 1 of my children is Autistic the way we helped him transition from nappies to pants was to buy him pants with his favourite cartoon character on and he didn't want them to be upset if they got peed on. We also used a reward chart and stickers and every week he got to choose a special prize from the special box. It wasn't big or expensive, just little a car or a bottle of bubbles things that I know he loved. Any accidents he had we just had a little laugh and then a hug and told him ooopppsy let's try again. We never made a big thing of it.

So, I have done the let's go out an buy underwear of your choice which she was very chuffed with, she loves wearing them, but actually haven't tried the reward system, so I think I'll order the Bing one as it's her favourite. Thanks for this

Mine is a bing fan too so I bought her the bing toilet training book and still no luck, not interested in the pants and with the reward stickers she just asks for then and puts them in the bin and expects the stickers for free so yea I know what your going through.
