My 3 year old is still not toilet trained. She knows when she wants to pee or poop and if I remove her diaper and put her on the toilet seat, she will just not do it. But after a while either I make her put on the diaper or she forces me to put it on for her and then she'll relieve herself. There have been number of incidents accidents when I have left her off diapers and she's done it on the floor. Then she will come and tell me that she's done it. I see lot of Indian kids around being trained at a young age whereas when I read up on Babycentre about Europe and US, it's considered normal if the child is not trained till they are about 5. My issue is she'd be starting Nursery next year and the schools here require her to be fully toilet trained. Any tips will be very much appreciated.

Please take things slowly. You can't rush through potty training. Patience is the key factor to successful potty training. Once you've determined that your son is ready to start, focus on timing. Be sure your child's routine is well established. If he's just started preschool or has a new sibling, he may be less receptive to change or feel too overwhelmed to tackle this new challenge. Toddlers learn by imitation, and watching you use the bathroom is a natural first step. He may notice that Daddy uses the potty differently than Mommy does, which creates a great opportunity for you to explain the basic mechanics of how boys use the bathroom.
