she does not seem to be able to hold her bladder for more than 10 mins at a time. I have tried star charts and sticker rewards but it is not working. She never does a poo in her pants so i'm grateful for that, but I'm running out of ideas of how to keep her dry. I also have a
1 1/2 boy to keep occupied, so I cannot always remember to remind her.

We had this for ages: dd just wasn't ready. I gave up a couple of times and went back to nappies. How long have you been trying? On the days when my dd was wetting very frequently it was often because she was brewing a cold, ear infection or chicken pox. I had to be careful not to get wound up or show any irritation or disappointment with her when she had accidents, because she was v. sensitive to that and it made her worse. Training pants didn't help. I just had to have loads of spare clothes with us everywhere we went, and the accidents got fewer gradually. She still has the odd lapse, though, and she's nearly six. Not that I'm suggesting your dd will be the same...just that some are slower and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong. HTH
