My daughter is turning three this beginning of next month.
She has been potty trained for almost a year now. She did wet the bed on occasion but even kick that habit out in the last 6 months. She was doing great...I was happy...both my kids out of diapers, awesome! Well, she's been back tracking a bit. She stands there and pees in front of the toilet and occasionally wets the bed now. Every time she goes to my Mom's she pees there too. My husband thinks she waits to long till she has to go then doesn't make it...but why did this start?? In a way I kind of feel it's emotionally fueled because I have returned to work fulltime on top of the classes and am not home nearly as much. Maybe seperation anxiety?? I need some advice and answers. |

I used to take my son to the bathroom on a regular schedule, say every hour.
He was a little later getting trained than some. What worked best for me was an idea I read about. I put a jar of M&M's on the vanity. Each time he used the potty he could have a couple. (This was a huge treat: we didn't have any junk food normally). You can use whatever would be a huge treat for her. I think it could be anxiety (I've read some of your other posts and family events surely affect kids in ways they can't express or understand) and it could be just getting out of the habit as well as waiting too long. Taking her regularly will help her get back in the haabit and she will feel good about her successes too! |

HI! Oh, I remember those days! lol
Is she in daycare? How is she doing with potty training when you are not there? IT could be a lot of things, if it continues, you should take her to her doctor, sometimes it is a urinary infection. But I would guess it is anxiety, kids tend to backtrack on their physical progress when something stressful is happing in their life.It could be you going back to work, or her babysitter,a growth spurt,or who knows? Maybe the person she is staying with while you are working needs to remind her more and ask her if she needs to go. Good luck, and don't worry this isn't forever. ;-) |

If you think your daughter is anxious about you going to work, maybe you could make a special routine that will comfort her before you go, during your absence and when you return.
I always had breakfast with my son even if it meant getting us both up early. It is some of my fondest memories. MY middle son used to get "lips." That meant I put on my reddest lipstick and kissed him on his hand. He had my kiss to carry around with him all day. There is a book called The Kissing Hand that is sort of like this. It's a perfect story for little kids suffering from separation anxiety. You two could read it together at bedtime. When you come home, maybe she could share your dinner with you even if she already ate hers. Let her sit with you and share what is on your plate. That was also a big deal to one of my kids. I would remind her, but would not make a big deal about the accidents. Best of luck.

my son use to do this after he was potty trained. he would be out playing and just wait too long or forget to go. the bedtime wetting you should limit her liquid intake before bedtime and make sure she goes right as you put her down for the night. try this first before maybe thinking it is emotional stuff going on. of course it could be but try this first. try not to think the worst. you are stressing enough right now hon.

What does your daughter say when you ask her how come she missed the potty (when she pees on the floor right in front of the potty). If she can't tell you, can you tell if it appears she JUST got there and didn't have time to get her shorts down or does it seem like she just stood there and let it rip ?? Is she then uncomfortable with the wet pants or does she not seem bothered with soiled shorts ??
My son was potty trained for a few months around age 2 1/2 and then just slipped back - he specifically asked to get the pull-ups back. He could not express why and thankfully it only lasted about a month and then he was back to being potty trained. I have no idea what happened but suspect that a change in daycare might have caused the disruption. We changed from one daycare to another because the first daycare went out of business. Hang in there |
