Potty Training and Pre-school

 My DD is 2.5 and wearing panties the majority of every day and night, but she is far from potty trained. She has proven that she has continence, meaning she can hold it through naps and nighttime. She will go sit on the potty, immediately stand up, want to wipe though nothing was done, get down, then go pee in her pants. She demands a diaper to poop, which I don't deny because if I do she'll hold it in and we already battle constipation due to a picky diet. Every 2-3 days she will have a great period during the day and will go potty (#1 and 2) successfully and gets excited about being a big girl. I don't know what to do to encourage her to actually go in the potty more. I sometimes wonder if she has trouble with releasing her pee and poop. Am I reaching here? Is this just a phase?  Help me. She has to be potty trained to move to the 3 year old class in the fall or  do any of the fun classes (dance, etc.).

    Fall is very long time away, i'm sure she'll get it by then.  My DD had trouble too until one day she just decided she's done with diapers, and had very minimal accidents since then.  Keep working on it.

    My DD was like that for a while and we just stopped pt for a while until she was more interested. Now she is pretty much training herself. She will only go when she wants to, if you try to take her she will flat out refuse. But she is doing really well no

    I'm definitely not an expert, and we still aren't fully there (won't poop on the potty for us, will at daycare) but what made a big difference for us was basically going completely hands off and focusing on the indpendence of PTing. She is able to pull do

    Thanks y'all. I'm happy to report that she just went successfully before nap! I feel like sometimes I see the light at the end of the tunnel and others I feel like we'll never get there. Either way, we've had success today and each one is another step in

    We used a potty training chart and made it bigger every time he completed one. After he filled it with stickers he got a prize.
