Re potty Training all over again with a three year old?
a friend of mine is a stay at home mom and was watching her for me, then she started watch another little girl about a month youner then my daughter who wasnt even stared on potty training. and problems began she started having accidents.
I moved her to a daycare with a bunch of other kids that are potty trained hoping it would help.
but now it's happening all the time, she acts like she doesn care when she soils her self. not just at the daycare but at home to.
I've very frustrated any ideas (besides putting her on premant time out on the potty?)
Answers:
Many 2 year olds aren't ready to be potty trained, in spite of all the folks that are probably telling you "my kid was potty trained at 18 months." And many who are trained often have setbacks. The birth of a new baby, or in your case being around what she perceives as a baby in diapers, can often trigger setbacks. Moving to a new home and parental separation are other common causes for setbacks.
Most 2 year olds are not fully trained. My own son is 3 and he only rarely uses the potty.
If she starts to show interest again, then by all means encourage her. Use a reward system, sticker chart, etc. and never punish for potty failure. But if she shows any stress about using the potty then wait, or you will have a bigger problem on your hands (called "toilet avoidance" or "potty avoidance".) Never use negative reinforcement (punishing) for potty failure for the same reason.
Just be patient with her!
Good Luck

that happend to my 3 year old too.... I was upset I found the babysitter wasnt making him go and when i left would put a pull-up on him..he got confuesed...had to re potty train again...it took longer the second time around! The best thing is be patient, and rewards such as goin to the park or out to get icecream, u know stuff to reward when they do good helps them too! My son liked giving high fives the best! dont give a treat everytime, but always say great job and do the high five! and give hugs..they love the attention and will start goin again on their own!
best of luck to ya!!!
That happened to me my daugther turned two i had her potty trained and doing really good then one day she just didn't want to do it anymore. Now i am fighting with her again to get her potty trained before this baby come in two weeks. I think it is something they all go through. I am sure she will come around again it just takes a lot of time to work with her.
This can be disappointing and frustrating when your child seemed to have already mastered the potty. But kids can regress. But, don't despair, your daughter can get back on track.
Sometimes kids regress when something is going on--changes at home, daycare, school, can bring on regression.
One of the important things is not to freak out about it, and not to scold her or make her feel bad for what is happening.
Be sure to praise any interest she has in the potty and any successes that she has.
But you have to acknowledge that she is the one who is ultimately going to decide when she is ready to get back to using the potty. Let her know that she is in charge of her potty learning. You can ask her if she wants to go back to diapers (or pull-ups) for a while.
If she chooses the diapers, go with it and just drop the potty training subject for a while. She may come back to it on her own. Or, after a while, you could gently inquire about whether she would like to try using the potty again.
When she does want to try again, you might set up an incentive chart with a reward for her to work toward, like a toy or a special trip to a park or something that she would enjoy.
My daughter, who is now 5, was late to potty training, and had a few small regressions along the way. Hang in there. And as I always reminded myself when I got frustrated: "No one crosses the stage to get their high school diploma wearing a diaper."
Good luck!

Had the same problem with my son . He was potty trained at two when we lived in virginia and when we moved back to michigan when he was 3 . I had to re train him all over again I don't know what the deal was . but it took a few months and ,then he was back going to the bathroom again . yes it does take time and patience . When she goes to the potty reward her for it and tell her big girl. Thats helps them too .Good luck !
You need to know what schedule they are following at her day care and make sure you follow the same schedule during the weekend. The rule of thumb is normally, right after a meal, they go to the potty... Try to stay on the schedule and make sure the day care does also.
Is there anything she could be stressed about (new baby, family problems, move)? She may be stressed about starting in daycare. If you believe this is the case, give her lots of extra love and support.
Use logical and natural consequence when she soils herself. Hold her responsible for cleaning up. Have her change herself, put the soiled clothes in the laundry, wipe (take a bath before bed), and put on clean clothing. Send some extra clothes to her daycare so she can do the same there. It will become a nuisance to her and she will learn it is easier to use the potty. Good luck!
