Hi, this is the first time I've ever posted on a forum but I'm just at my wits end and don't know what else to do😕
My daughter is currently 3 years 5 months and we started potty training when she was around 2 as she seemed interested. We did the whole sticker chart approach and she seemed to get it but never had a proper dry day. After doing this for about 6 months things started to go down hill again and we were having constant accidents and refusing to use the potty or toilet. We decided to revert back to nappies as didn't want to force her. We then waited about a month and tried again with her, this time using sweets as a reward, and general praise as always when she used the toilet or potty. This has been going well but we still have never had a more than a couple of days where she has been dry. At pre school the teachers say she runs off and uses the toilet but still has accidents which I expect to happen what with all the distractions! Up until about two weeks ago things were getting alot better and she was coming home dry from pre school, still not 100% at home though. But now she has reverted back to having constant accidents and not even caring that she's completely drenched in wee. Sometimes she will say "mummy I think I've weed myself" , but most of the time she doesn't seem bothered and just sits around wet. It's so frustrating as I know she knows how to do it! She go's for no 2s on toilet no problem! Nowadays if I ask her if she needs a wee she says no. And the only way to get her to go is to sit her on it kicking and screaming which I know isn't helping! I've literally tried everything. Shes been bottomless around the house, left alone to do it on her own accord, praised for good ignored for bad... But its all the same result. Wet trousers or puddles. 😔
I really don't want to revert back to nappies again as I feel this will just confuse her more.
Has anyone else experienced similar and had any success with something?Any advice will be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏻Xxx
