Potty training going well but dd is regressing now the 'novelty' has worn off

[ProfYaffle]

Aaargh! What can I do? We've been potty training for 2 weeks, she did really well and has been using the normal toilet for the last week. Up to now she has been very good about taking herself to the toilet and needed minimal prompting.

But ...

... the novelty has obviously worn off and she's having more accidents now than this time last week. The most recent was when she was stood next to the toilet!!

I'm reluctant to start prompting her more often as she's got to learn to recognise the signs for herself, so what do I do? Just let her get wet and hope she figures it out? Do they all do this?

My DS did this, so i had to go back to regular prompting / enforced toilet trips for a week. I also told him I was cross when I knew he was wetting himself through laziness.

Thanks for your reply. I started more regular prompting today so we will see.

Nooooooooo, it has happened again, she was sat on my lap, I asked her if she needed a wee, 'no' she says, 'are you sure?' I ask again 'no' she says and promptly pees all over me!!

Help, help, help!!

what age is your dd? I would always take a little one to the toilet every few hours without asking them and sometimes they would say i need a wee, i always took them before doing any activities or heading out

She's 2yrs 5mths, I've been taking her before we go out and every time we pass a public loo. At home I've been taking her every couple of hours or so (today anyway) I guess I shouldn't have believed her when she said she didn't want to go!

Def at this stage i would still take every few hours especially as you know how much they drink, what goes in must come out you forget how much nappies hold! For the next few months i would still take even to try for a wee, just make it fun give her a sticker all the time she uses the big girl toilet!

I'll give it a try and see how we go (again!)

Thanks.

I can relate to being peepeed on, it has happened to me three times in the past two days.
My DS is 22 months and has been using a potty chair through the day - no nappy. Although I put a nappy on for going out and night time.
He was doing so well for the past month, and still always sits down for a poop, even a pump which he thinks is a poop.
But the peep is getting a bit random, he might be sitting on the sofa and go etc.. TBH I know two of the peeps that went on me were my own fault, because he had just woken from a nap - what does everyone do when they wake up in the morning - go for a pee. So I should have just plumped him on his seat.
However, I have gone back to just sitting him down on the potty every hour or when I kind of know he is going to pee - like after a meal or after a nap, or after draining a cup of milk in ten seconds flat - then I make a big fuss of him.making a big fuss of him, because I think he is clever.
It's quite tricky, because I leave him with his toys in one room, whilst I put clothes away of or something, then come back in and he has peep'd on the floor. arrgh!
I don't have your dilemma, because my ds talks nonsense most of the time, so I wouldn't get into any kind of discussion, other than a reminder to go. He just says no, regardless of what I am saying, even if I offer him a huge bar of chocolate.
