Good luck with that! It took me forever to try to get my son potty trained. Girls are supposed to be easier though. I cried and cried at times because I was trying everything I could think of and everything I read. Nothing seemed to work 100%. So one day, I stopped trying for awhile. The next day, he went to the potty by himself and has been doing it since. Just tell your daughter that she is going to have to stay on the potty until she goes to the bathroom. If that doesn't work, just give her time. She'll do it when she's ready!

With my son I bought a can of the best carpet cleaner avail in case of accidents and then spent a weekend letting him run around without pants. We relaxed and watched some good dvd's and if necessary, I could quickly get him to the toilet. It also allowed him to get to the toilet on his own without having to worry about wetting his clothes. After that it was mainly practice and a few accidents.
