We got a potty book from the library. At that stage I'd given up on the toilet training, but DS insisted on getting it out of the garage and having a go. I thought I'd better try while he's interested. I put him straight into underpants. Once he wet them once or twice, he didn't want to do that again, and did it in the potty.

I think they have to be ready though, if she's being stubborn about it, and you keep trying, it could take a year. If you wait until she's ready, it will happen in less than a week. Next year is a long way away in a child's development. I'm sure she'll be ready before then.
