Sit her on potty hourly for 5 minutes. USE A TIMER!She can have a book during the 5 minutes, but no other entertainment. If she pees/poops, you can skip the next hour, but then back on 2 hours later.Once she has not wet for a week on the hourly schedule, you can go to a 2 hour schedule. If she does wet herself, make her change her clothes and put dirty in laundry, help clean up mess...Good luck!
