just be patient. this is what they do. They show interest and then become uninterested. I don't believe potty training should be forced. Always go by their actions. If she isn't into it right now just wait a while and she will again. My oldest child was not fully potty trained until he was almost 4.

Bribery. I know many will disagree, but it works.

A taste of their favorite candy for potty sitting, more for a deposit. Positive reinforcement though - never punishment for not going.

Also, boys do seem harder to potty train - there I said it...

Be patient, but don't stop the training. Her interest isn't necessary and in fact, she needs to learn that toileting is required as part of her growing up.

It isn't a choice, and it isn't based on mood. You can tell her that you understand she doesn't want to stop playing, or anything else that she may use as an objection, while you sit her down on the potty chair.
