Another kid problem?

Question

ok now im getting frustrated..... i got my oldest back in her room, and last night she took her diaper off and took a nice poo on her toy box, why the heck would she do that, and how can i stop it before it gets worse cause cleaning that up was the worst thing ever :(

Answer 1

First thing is don't go over board when she does this, because if she's doing it for a reaction, and you make a big fuss it's just reinforcing her. Tell her calmly that's not where you use the bathroom , take her to the bathroom and get her to sit on the toilet. If she wants attention and feels she's not getting enough she'll settle for negative attention. You should also consider potty training her, she sounds ready. Take her to the store let het pick her own panties, and don't let her wear a diaper during the day. Take her as often as you can and reward her for every little success, it doesn't have to be a treat every time try stickers and when she has some many stickers earned then she gets a treat. Also try setting aside time just for the two of you. Hope this helps Good Luck

my girl went through this faze, and let me tell you I know it sucks, you can be calm, crazy, take away toys, slap hands and nothing changes! for my daughter what helped was I would put her in an empty tub and then clean everything first then her, she hated it.
I also would not allow toys in the tub and would pour the water over her head ( which she hated) she stopped within 3 baths like that. you just have to find what works for them.

she hated to stay dirty while I took the time to clean the crib, sheets walls, and then her, then i would make her bath and clean her up but she did not get a fun bath, and at that age "fun baths" were her highlight.

I have been there. My son used to take his diaper off to and leave lots of little surprises everywhere. I tried to put the diaper on backwards but he figured that out so i finally had to tape the diaper on so he couldnt get it off and that seemed to work try that and see what happens. I only did it at nap time and bed time tho

Answer 4

LMAO!!! sorry, that was kinda funny. You got to see the humor in it. Trust me I know what your going threw, my oldest son used to finger paint with it. It used to get me so irate. She did it to get your attention and shes little. Don't freak out. Stay calm. Show her your in control. It's probably time for you to start trying to potty train her.

Answer 5

reward her for using the potty so she associates using the bathroom instead of somewhere else with your happiness (and a treat) soon she'll grow out of the treat thing when she goes to kindergarten and has to use the bathroom herself.

Answer 6

explain that it is unacceptable...she is trying to get your attention and will do anything she can to get back into your bed.
try making her cleaning up or take away her favourite things for a while

Answer 7

if she's old enough to pull her own nappy off,chances are she's old enough to start potty traing.Make a chart on cardboard and let her put a star sticker up everytime she goes on the potty.

Answer 8

You have to understand that she is a baby, at at the same try to teach her that mommy doesn't like when she does that. Good luck

Answer 9

Maybe shes trying to get your attention...have you been focusing alot of attention on your younger children?

Answer 10

Next time it happens, make her clean it up. She won't be so keen to do it again!
