My friends dd is 3.6yrs and has toilet trained her from 2.4 yrs but she is still having accidents! she goes to pre-school every afternoon (with my dd!) and sometimes comes home with wet knickers. mum has tried ignoring, praise for dry days, removal of favourite toys, reward charts etc but she can be dry for two weeks and then go in one day and come home wet. she knows how to ask (very good language skills) and how to go by herself. she seems to get engrossed in what she is doing and doesn't wnat to miss out so just wets herself. the annoying thing is she can do it and is dry for a few weeeks at a time then one day she wet again. the teachers at pre-school have done the whole constant reminder thing and will change her if wet but she soemtimes doesn't tell anyone. Mum is getting embaressed and angry as she can do it.
what other tips can you come up with? i wondered if she was overtired and missed the key sensation trigger but she sleeps well. she still wears nappy at nigth which is very wet byt he morning. (she has even soiled in her sleep and mum can change her without her waking up!) Mum has spoken to docs who won't do anything until she is 5, so as you can guess mum is at wits end right now! any advice?
