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.

hi shibha, u have to remember every child is an individual....different. each takes own time to learn...some are quick ...some slow but no less. i will say, do not worry. one day she will sit on it. you could try giving her mobile or tablet to watch cartoon or phonetics. tell her she will get to watch on potty seat. or offer her candy or lollypop after poop. i want to tell you one thing, incase other mummies show-off about their childrens' achievements...do not feel bogged down. most face same situation like you but do not tell. i am sure, you will see her sitting on potty seat :-)
