[quote=jsmith123]3 can be a tough age. I think the key to potty training is giving your child autonomy and being their cheerleader as opposed to their adversary. Can you try to set it up as her choice instead of trying to force her? My 3 year old always wants to be "big" and is very motivated by anything that "big kids" do. So if I framed potty training as something that is an exciting challenge that would make him a big kid, he'd want to prove himself. And we would cheer on his progress. But if I tell my 3 year old something to do something, he basically just says no reflexively because that's how 3 year olds can be![/quote]
