I started potty training my 2.6 year old yesterday and she is doing fine so far, we are using a sticker reward chart system with a promise of some new bath crayons if it is sufficiently filled up by the end of the week, we had 4 stickers for wees in the potty yesterday and 6 so far today (along with a couple of accidents on the floor). I haven't read any of the potty training books or anything, so far I have just been encouraging her to sit on the potty for as long as possible with stories, colouring in and small toys and giving lots of praise when she does something in the potty. This is great progress for us, before yesterday she refused to entertain the idea of sitting on the potty at all and I'm hoping that the action of actually peeing on the potty will get her more aware of when she is peeing and then learn to recognise when she needs to pee before it happens. A couple of times today I've asked if she needed to pee and been told no but then she's done it on the floor seconds later, realistically how long should I be expecting it to be before she will actually admit to needing a pee or go to the potty herself instead of having an accident?
