4 year old un-potty trained herself in lockdown

[Mumto2leeds]

Since lockdown my 4 year old has started having accidents. At first it was just the odd wee when I was busy working that I put down to her wanting attention. Then she never weed on the toilet if with me and now she is pooing herself and started doing it at nursery too. She was fully potty trained through day before and in pull ups at night. I've tried praising going to the loo. Ignoring her accidents and also and inevitably shouting when she does it. Shes going through about 5 set of clothes a day and at least a binned pair of knickers a day. Any advice

I know two other kids who've had potty regressions in lockdown. I think we just have to eliminate medical causes and roll with it.

Bribe her. I know it’s not recommended often but it should work at her age provided there’s no medical reasons. Offer her something regular, whatever it takes, to get it to stop - does she like chocolate buttons or smarties? If so one for each wee in the toilet maybe two for each poo?

If it's warm enough at home leave her in a dress with no knickers and tights on

My friend did this with her son. He wouldn't wee or poo the floor. She took his pants and trousers off

Thanks for advice. I took her out of pull ups at night to avoid confusion and she has been dry at night ever since! I also have a reward chart and things have improved although she seems mainly dry now she still keeps pooing herself. Fingers crossed it wont last too long. Chart definately seems to help but now she loes about pooing herself so it doesnt get marked on her chart! Thanks for responses
