My son started @ 2 w/ reg. potty "just like the guys do it"-We didn't push him @ all- He just really wanted to & was in regular underwear by 2 1/2 yrs.old. even to bed staying dry all night- He told us all the time if he had to go for 3 mths. straight. Then we came back from vacation where he'd slept in a pack & play and he did have a few accidents then and a few during the day because he didn't want to stop playing and go-Now the accidents haven't really stopped-We've tried the sticker chart, not making a big deal out of accidents, rewards, etc. He gets mad if I suggest or ask if he needs to go- "NO! I don't have to go!" We even put him in his toddler bed last week so he could hop out if he needed to go during naptime or nighttime. He started preschool yesterday & parents stayed the first day & I asked him if he wanted to go & try the new potty-"NO"-teacher tells me he'll see other kids & will want to go. What good advice can you tell me? Should I call his pediatrician yet?

My son wanted to be independent when it came to potty training. He did not want to use a floor potty and he did not want to be lifted to the toilet. What worked for him is The Potty Stool http://www.thepottystool.com This stool makes every toilet kid- sized. It really helped my children to have a SAFE and sturdy way for them to get to the toilet on their own. I like that this stool cuts potty training in half by eliminating the potty chair. This stool made all the difference for my kids. I hope this helps you.

We aren't there yet. But vacations can really mess up babies/toddlers schedules and routines, which can cause them to regress in anything. My son was sleeping through the night at 6 months then when we went on vacation for a week, he wouldn't sleep through the night again until 13months. Also, preschool can be a big adjustment for them, but they learn alot and almost always want to do what the other kids do. I couldn't see my 18 mo napping on a mat unless someone sat on top of him, but he never had a problem there. At home is another story though. I would give him some time to adjust back before you start worrying. Some are more sensitive to change than others.

It is not uncommon for this to happen. You can get more details on this in the following link on understanding potty training regression and how to handle them.
