I would simply tell Mom and Dad she is not ready and when she is with me, she will be in diapers. First, let me say, I realize that it isn't you that is pushing it on the child, it's grandma and parents, so PLEASE don't think this is directed at you:
One of my biggest pet peeves is people forcing potty training on a child who is not developmentally ready. If she were developmentally ready, she would be trained and this would be a non-issue.
The parents would be told that it isn't working, and that if they choose to insist that she be trained, then when she has CONSISTENTLY been telling them and then using the potty at home, for a minimum of two weeks, that is when I would start again here. I would not allow them to make me train their child. I know what is appropriate and I know when a child is ready, therefore, in my program, I decide when the time is right and when it will happen.
