I've done about 15 kids or so this way and on average it takes 2-3 days.
Of course if you have carpets, you may not like this method!
Can't do it! Just something about the while naked bum all over my house aspect lol. The little one I take care of did this at home, for like 4 months and mom wanted me to have her naked here but I couldn't do it.

That said, I'm not convinced peeing on the floor would have a different reaction for my daughter then she has right now, peeing with the panties and pants on. She gets soaked, she freezes and stops what she is doing to run to the potty.

I need to get her to make herself pee while on the potty that's the step she is missing. Today she woke after a 2.5hr nap, was dry and she sat on the potty (happily) but didn't pee. About 30min later she peed while playing and ran herself to the potty (too late). I know she could have made her self pee 30 minutes prior when she was on the potty. She just doesn't seem to know how yet. I have no idea how to teach that skill! I tell her to push the pee out and she ends up pushing the potty on the floor (pushing herself into it while sitting on it) I'm not sure what other words to use "push your inner muscles around your bladder to squeeze the pee out?" lol.

Hopefully a few more days and she figures it out. In the very least right now she is getting herself in the habit of stopping what she is doing to run to the potty...it may be right AFTER she pees instead of BEFORE...but it's still a good habit to master!

My big concern is that she seemed to be somewhat ready for this right now...so I started but we go on a 2 week overseas vacation in mid-February! So, if she hasn't fully mastered it all then we'll have to put her in diapers because we won't have any access to laundry and as willing as I am do keep at it now...I'm not willing to have a suitcase full of 2 week old soiled pants and panties...ewwwwwwwww w.
