My 3.2-year-old DD has been potty trained for a year. The potty training was all very natural, at her pace. At first things were great, a few accidents here and there but not many. Then 8 months later she started having more accidents. Now it’s every single day, especially pooing in her pants. She does do most wees on the toilet and usually tells me when she needs to go but with poos every single one (usually one a day) she does in her pants. This is whether she’s at nursery, playing in the park or standing right next to me doing nothing! I’ve tried everything- asking her every half hour if she needs a poo, trying to explain that she needs to tell me when she very first gets the feeling she needs one in her tummy not when she feels it in her bum, giving her a treat if she manages to do one in the toilet. I never get angry at her but often ask her why she didn’t tell me. She always just says she forgot or it was an accident. Today I saw her standing still in the park with her legs apart. I knew straight away she was doing a poo so ran over and asked her if she’d done one. She said no (in last few days she’s started denying doing one and I have to talk her into changing her, she at least used to come and tell me everytime she’d done one). I’m at the end of my tether, she sees me throw away her favourite pants constantly but it only seems to be getting worse. There has been no significant change or trauma or anything in her life recently. Her behaviour in every other area hasn’t changed, she doesn’t seem anxious. I just don’t know what to do anymore. If she’s standing still for ages to do it how can it be an accident? I’d understand if she was running around distracted by playing but it’s like she stops to do it, even when I’m right there and she could easily tell me. If she is doing it deliberately then why? We have a really close bond & really trusting relationship so I just don’t understand why she’s doing this. Any advice would be really really appreciated. It’s driving me insane!
