DS 3yrs 9months has been fully toilet trained for around 9 months now with the odd wee accident about once a fortnight/3 weeks usually when he is enjoying something so much he can't bear to leave it.
On tue and wed at nursery last week he had a wee accident both days which I put down to him beig excited to be back after Christmas hold, but then on thu he had a poo in his pants and 4 wee accidents there and fri, sat and sun involved various wee accidents at home. Yesterday was slightly better with one wee accident at home and this morning he has woken me to tell me he has poo'd in his pull ups. I am at my wits end. It took me months to train him initially and I just can't understand why after all this time we've gone so far backwards.
Initially I tried talking to him about what was causing it but got nothing back, I tried timeout and since then I have taken a toy of his and told him he can have them back when he goes a day without an accident. During all this I also keep asking him if anything is worrying him, trying to give him encouragement about what a big boy he is and how well he was doing with wee's and poo's on toilets etc.
Has anyone else had this? If so, how long did it last, what did you do etc?
Thanks
