Potty training

in Toddlers: 24 Months+

So my daughter has just turned 2. About a month and a half ago we were getting ready for bath time and I caught her peeing on the rug so i put her on her potty to finish. We praised her for being such a big girl. But since then she wants nothing to do with her potty. Occasionally she will sit on it with her clothes on, but that's it. She has been able to vocalize for a while now when she has to poop, but when i ask if she wants to go on her potty she refuses. 

Does this just mean she isnt ready? I obviously don't want to force her into potty training. But she was showing signs of being ready, and now, not so much. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

    Yes, she isn't ready. She went pee on the rug either due to hearing the running water and/or the air was cold and you just took off her clothes and it gave her the sensation to have to pee. That wasn't a readiness sign. It's a good step that she's vocalizing when she has to poop and has some interest in sitting on it with clothes on but since she's so adamently refusing to sit on the potty when she has to go I wouldn't push it.

    Yeah, we had a hard time with DD since I wanted to ideally have her trained by 2 years old but she wanted nothing to do with the potty at home even though she was using the potty at the sitter during the day. Anyways, we kept trying and then this past Christmas she started going willingly and being interested in the potty so I started training with pull ups. It was going well but I think since I was using pull ups it was almost the same as diapers so in January I went to underwear and it took about 2 weeks to pee train and another 2 weeks to poop train. So now at 2 1/2 she is finally potty trained and I am happy.

    She will let you know when she is ready :)

    DS is 3 1/2 and has only just recently started consistently using the potty. He just was not ready and is very determined to do things ONLY when he is good and ready!! Very strong willed little fellow.
    He's ahead of the game in many other areas... so we weren't overly concerned as long as he's 100% potty trained before kindergarten! So happy though now that he uses his potty 9 times out of 10.
