My 4 year old dd was trained pretty early. Maybe around 2 yrs 4 months? Last year a few months after her 3rd bday, she started having pooping accidents at daycare. After we talked with the teachers and started and "incentive program" it resolved itself.
Now, she's 4 years 4 months and has been having little pee accidents all.the.time. And she doesn't tell anyone. She'll sit in her wet underwear either at home or at daycare. It's just a little wet, not like it leaves a puddle where ever it happened, but it still leaves her undies quite soaked and I'm at my wits end with it. I cannot stand the smell of pee everywhere nevermind all the laundry! And when she wears tights and has an accident, it'll give her a rash (which I just put diaper cream on and that works fast).
We've tried implementing a reward system (get a coin for no accidents each day, after so many coins we can go do a "fun thing", then we moved on to daily candy rewards) but that still isn't working.
On the weekends, I set an alarm for every hour to go use the potty and she fights and argues saying she doesn't have to go. Tonight I told her go use the potty now and we can watch a video before bed or you can go to bed now. She grudgingly used the potty.
A few weeks ago, it was just pooping accidents, and based on dr. google, I needed to increase her fiber. I did that and am no longer washing out the poopie undies. (and she apparently didn't mind sitting in the poop either! Why the daycare couldn't smell it and make her change is another question.)
Am I missing something? I don't know what else I can do to help encourage her to not want to sit in wet undies. It seems silly to take her to a doctor for this, but could it be medical? Any advise or suggestions you can offer, I'm listening!
Thanks!
