I’m at my wits end with DD. She’s 3 and a half and has been potty trained for a year now. The first month or two were great, no issues at all, but ever since then she wets herself (not a full wee, just enough that pants and tights/trousers need changing) 2-3 times a day, every day.
It’s not that she doesn’t realise she’s doing it — she chooses to wet herself rather than stop what she’s doing and go to the toilet. She knows exactly when it happens but she doesn’t tell anyone, and she always denies needing to go when you ask her, even if she’s hopping around obviously desperate. She kicks up a massive fuss about going almost every time.
I’ve tried taking her every hour whether she needs it or not, sticker chart with treats (worked for the first week then she went back to exactly the same as before), putting her in leggings or PJs after an accident (she prefers dresses), killing it with kindness, getting cross... I feel like I’ve tried everything going and she’s still as bad as ever.
I have two other preschoolers including a 6-week-old baby and could reeeeaaaalllly do without changing my 3.5yos outfit multiple times a day, plus all the extra (smelly) washing it generates.
Please help!!!!!!
