[quote=Anonymous]I'm gonna guess that the PPs saying this obviously means your kid is "not ready" have not actually done the 3 day, cold turkey method, but either way, here are my thoughts:

-day 1 is supposed to be a disaster of sorts. i would not even evaluate whether it's working or not before the end of day 3 - if your kid is having less than a 75% success rate at the end of it, then i'd give it a rest for a couple months. til then, power through. you've already done the hardest part, giving up now would be such a waste. 
-which 3 day method are you using? I used the one outlined on the Baby Center which says not to even ask if they want to go potty - the answer is always no. Just keep them naked from the waist down with a potty in the room - they have to learn to seat themselves there when it's time to go. 
-don't forget to take your kid to the potty with you when you go. if she wants to roam around the bathroom while you do your thing, that's fine. but she should get it see you role modeling and have the opportunity to copy you. keep this up all weekend. [/quote]
