View Full Version : WTH? Major Potty Regression

DD2 is almost 4 years old, and she's been potty trained for over a year. Suddenly, though, she's having accidents. She's had at least one a day for the last week. Usually, she makes it into the bathroom then pees before she gets on the toilet.

I would understand if she were getting caught up in playing and forgot to go until it was too late (and that accounts for two of the accidents this past week), but this "not making it on the toilet" thing confounds me. She's always apologetic when it happens, but otherwise she doesn't seem to care at all. So far, we've done the calm "Oh, looks like you didn't make it to the potty, well, here's a towel to clean it up" routine, but still it's getting really old.

Any suggestions on how we can help her make it to the bathroom on time?

this happened with DS1. We went back to a timer every 15-20 mins for a weekend and got back on track that way. Also rewards of M&M.

double check that she hasn't gotten constipated - meaning passing very soft stools every day or two. passing hard ones equals constipated according to the dr proposing this as a reason for pee accidents. (seems to be working for ds!)
