My daughter is turning 4 years old by June and she is not yet potty train ready. I've been exclusively cloth diapering her since she was 4 months to the present that I think she's so comfortable with it she doesn't want to pee or poo on the toilet. I bought her a potty seat with music, ended up selling it because it became a dust collector. Bought a potty toilet seat cover as well with her favorite character Dora but doesn't want to sit on it because Dora will get dirty. Been bribing her with prizes if she gets to pee or poo on the toilet but she still manages to hold them off. Please give me ideas/tips on how to potty train her. She'll soon be attending formal school and it would be awkward that her teacher still be the one to wash her when she goes to the toilet. Thank you in advance!

Be patient and don’t stress your child too much. I started letting my girl go diaperless at home when she’s almost 2yo. Only wear diaper when sleeping, go school and out. Will then bring her to try and pee every 30mins and then later on extend to hourly and so on. Till she is ready and know how to tell us when she wanna pee or poop. She’s 2.5yo now and can go toilet her own alrd. She’s also not wearing diaper to school and for sleeping alrd. But do note that it’s very different for every child. So try to help your child build up the confidence first. Get her to follow you to the toilet everytime u wanna pee, that might increase her curiosity to pee in the toilet bowl.
