Answer #1

Have you taken her to the toilet when you have to go to show her that nothing is gonna happen. I guarantee you she’s afraid she’ll fall in and disappear. My son would not sit on the toilet for a long time unless I held his hands so he wouldn’t fall in. Also, they have these seats that sits on the lid for toddlers try that and reward her. Making her sit there is just gonna make her rebel even more. Try putting cherrios in the water and tell her to try to move the cherrios around by peeing on them. Make it a game and reward her if she does it. It helped my son aim and not be scared to use the bathroom.

Answer #2
