Need some pointers, tips and tricks for potty training my 3 year old. She has no desire to even try. She's super smart and knows what to do just won't. We've read books and told her we'd even have a potty party afterwards but no luck.

We are homeschooling so I'm on my own in that aspect.

We use the potty watch. It beeps/plays a song every 30 minutes( you can change the time) so it reminds them to go to the potty. When my little one here’s the music she knows it’s potty time. Also getting her underwear that she likes and explain that the underwear doesn’t like to be wet and let’s try our best to keep them dry. We also are doing a sticker chart. She gets to add a sticker after every successful potty trip.

Offer rewards, whatever all toys she likes or candy's have a big reward bucket and let her pick one ever time she successfully goes to the bathroom.

Potty Time movie motivated me. I was reluctant as well

I know it’s already been suggested but a sticker chart/reward bucket almost always worked for my students when I was an early childhood teacher. They get to put a sticker on the chart every time they successfully use the potty and then after they get so many stickers (your choice on how many) they get to pick something out of the bucket. So it’s like they get a little reward every time they go potty(the sticker) and they get to earn their way up to a big reward(something from the bucket) :)

My daughter is 3 and im in the same boat. Sticker chart worked for a few days then it stop. What is working for us currently is the “potty trainer” who leaves her a surprise when she has a full day of going to the bathroom. Some days its a little toy somedays its an activity or a craft or sometimes its i just a special breakfast or lunch.

My 3 year holds her poop in... Jesus help me.

My 3.5 year old girl is not super into potty/toileting yet either.
She goes to pre kinder 2 days a week, and will be kind of hit and miss with using theirs, and at home very minimal interest. I put it down to her not being ready yet.
There's no rush.

I'm not sure if this was suggested or not I'm not sure if it will work for you, but it helped my daughter. I put the potty in the living room and I let her run naked for a few days until she got the hang of it she never had any accidents on the floor and I had a flushable paw patrol potty which she liked plus the sticker chart helped to.

Does she wear actual underwear? Using pull-ups doesn't really give her a reason to go use the potty if she has the protection and ease of the pull-up. We bought all of ours underwear around 18 mons and once they felt the difference when they didn't make it to the potty the realized that they couldn't just pee anywhere anymore. It made them feel like big kids.

The book "Oh Crap! Potty Training" worked wonders for us, but our kid was about 20 months at the time. They're almost 3 now and are completely out of diapers and handle potty/poop on their own though, if that helps!
