No suggestiins because it is the same situation in my house x2 (4.5 and 3 year olds)

You really cant until they are interested in it and feel comfortable. Maybe instead of that take her shopping for a potty Let her choose what one she can use. The toilet might feel scary right now. Imagine if you had to climb steps up to a giant hole thing to go toilet.... lol its scary or uncomfortable for many kids esp when they start. You can transition her to the toilet after a potty when she is confident. Dont force etc though or you'll traumatise her and create more problems with toileting and withholding etc

Hello! I have twins 4y/o we are still in the process, i printed lots of pictures to help them visualize other kids doing the same thing, i pasted the pictures all around the house lol and finally they started to show interest I let them be naked around the house and I have two potty seats one in their play area and one in the living room, so when they feel they wanna go they just see it close. Hopefully this helps you. It’s a process just try to stay calm and focused i know it’s so frustrating I def know what you are going through, you’re doing great mom!!

Try taking her to the toilet when you go, when she needs a nappy change do it in the toilet, if she does a poo flush it down the toilet. I’ve been doing this with my daughter and it’s starting to work haven’t attempted the potty training just yet but slow steps!
