I have a son who just turned 3. He had 0 interest in the potty up until 2 weeks ago. We always spoke about it before this point giving him no pressure (reading books about it). Pressuring the child into using it is the worst thing you can do. Keep incouraging them to use it and offer rewards when they do (like a jellybean or m&m).
I find that when they are ready they will do it. My son just woke up one day 2 weeks ago & decided he was ready. he has not had a daytime accident since, but we still put a diaper on at night, just in case.
One other thing that seemed to work for me was I told him that I spoke with his doctor, who he loves, and that the doctor said to tell him that he is a big boy now, because he is 3 and that big boys use the potty. The next day is when he started using it.
