My 2 year old daughter will be turning 3 in August and will start pre-k in September. Only problem is she is not potty trained and she must be by the first day of school or she will be held back and kept in the 2 year old room (that is if there is space). We have tried everything from bribes to special toys to big girl underwear. I believe that each kid must learn at his or her own pace, but now I am afraid she will be 4 and still not potty trained. She has regressed and now wants a pacifier all the time, which she never took as an infant, and is acting like a baby. Everytime I ask her to go potty, she says no and if I insist, she throws a fit. She has only gone number one on the potty maybe 3 times. I will catch her right before she goes poopy in her diaper and put her on the potty, but then she holds it while on the potty and waits until I put a diaper back on her before she does her business. I have tried everything! How much persistance is too much, how much is not enough?
