Help my daughter is almost 4yrs old and still is not potty trained, I've tried everything - what can I do?

I have 3 children, a 5 & 3 yr old daughters and 15 month old son, My 1st daughter was potty trained by the age of 2. My second daughter is going to be 4 in February and still has no interest in going on the potty. I have tried everything from pull-ups, training pants, time out, talking about it, videos, books and even giving her the choice of a diaper or underware (she always chooses the underware). I cannot keep her in pull-ups she breaks out in a horrible rash. and I do not want to live covering everything in plastic or having everything stained with pee. what do i do? help?

Answers:
keep her in diapers...this should be her choice, and she is obviously not ready to be trained...when she's ready, you'll know...if she hits 5 and is still in diapers try some various things, maybe waiting to change her when she has a poopy diaper...for now though, diapers....as far as 5 year olds having to be trained that's not necessarily true...for one, most kids will be 5 for at least a couple months before kindergarten and they can be pushed then...other kids will be kept out kindergarten by their parents, because they are still in diapers, and the one year is propably not a big deal....plus, there are kindergartens that accept children in diapers now....they'll just require you to supply your daughter's diapers...good luck!

Just put her on the toliet & tell her big girls go there & if she does potty give her a treat maybe she'll start 2 use it more often.Good Luck
