I don't know where to go at this point. Should I let her take a break or continue training?
We started potty training DD (2 years and 5 months) about 13 days ago. She learned to pee in the "big potty" on the second day (so I thought she was ready), but had lots of accidents for the first 2-3 days. After that, I have a better sence about how often she needs to go and know when to put her on the potty. Now she pees in the potty almost everytime I put her on it. However, she doesn't want to poo in it (refuses to go to the bathroom and 2 minutes later, accident). In addition, she never tells me when she needs to go, even when I ask her or remind her (her verbal skill is quite advanced). If I forget to take her to the bathroom, she will just go. We're using the Gerber training pants, but the "trickling effect" doesn't seem to help.
My friends all accomplished potty training within 1-2 weeks. Does this mean that DD is not ready yet? How long did it take you to train your DD/DS? Is there anything I should/shouldn't do during the process?
Thanks for all the help :)
