Question

my little one is 2 1/2 and keeps going in her pants she knows what to do she has been potty traind for about 4 months. i am not sure what to. will she go back? or is this just a thing? please help

Answer 1

My daughter did this. I made a big Potty chart- I drew a big picture of a toilet bowl. For every time she used the potty, she got a sticker with her favorite character- Dora. She put the sticker in the potty (on the chart) and this worked well. After about 3 weeks she didn't care about the stickers anymore, but she used the potty consistently afterwards.

Answer 2

She's probably paying more attention to something else. Toddlers can only remember so much at one time, and potty training might have slipped below the radar. Have you noticed she's engaging in a new behavior: talking more, playing with other kids suddenly, or playing with a particular toy? It will pass; just keep reminding her about appropriate potty habits. She'll remember sooner or later and be right back in the swing of things.

Answer 3

Its just a "thing" honey dont worry about it. Most kids will regress a little once potty trained. Sometimes they do it because they are so involved in what they are doing they try to hold it but then end up having accidents. Its normal. Just be patient and continue giving her praise when she does use the toilet and watching he rsigns that she has to use the bathroom so you can get her there before she has another accident. Take Care and Good Luck.

Answer 4

I think that every kid I know has done this. It seems like once that get it down good, they backslide. Dont worry though, she'll go on the potty again. When she has accidents, just tell her to try and make it to the bathroom faster. Sometimes, they get so engrossed in playing that they dont think about going. She'll be fine. This stage usually doesnt last long.

Answer 5

It is very normal for children to go back to wetting or having accidents. She is still very young and you need to keep working with her in a patient and loving way. There is nothing wrong with her, she may be looking for a little extra attention, but that is OK, she is little and needs lots of attention!
If you become really concerned ask your Dr at her next appt.

Answer 6

2 1/2 year old is still young. and 4 months is a short time period..... compared to my kid.

just be patient and keep potty train her.

Answer 7

A stressor could have triggeres a relapse, or just the stubborn old two's!. Just relax and do what you were doing reward wise before and do not make a deal of it. Whatever you do do not use those pull ups they make the process far too long.

Answer 8

re-potty train

Answer 9

Either something's horribly wrong, or it's a cry for attention.
