Im at my wits end, my dd has been potty trained from 2yrs 8 months, she has been brilliant and dry in the day until one month ago, which happened to be just when me and dh got married. She now wets herself at least 4/6 times a day, i would say 6 days out of 7. She has also taken to having a wee in the garden when she is out there playing instead of coming in and going on the potty. I have tried reward stickers, telling off, nothing seems to work. She is now 3yrs. Please advise im at a loss as what to do now and im sooooo sick of all the washing.

try completely ignoring her when she does it. don't react, don't say anything. This worked when my dd did this after her brother was born. She gave up after a few days and went back to being dry. Its hard to do but it worked for me. HTH

Its worth try.. sometimes any attention is better than none in their opinion so even being shouted at is enough to make them do it again. My dd wanted attention coz of the arrival of her brother maybe your dd feels that the wedding took too much attention away from her.
