My DD is 3.6. She has been potty trained for about a year. At first it all went very well and she was very quickly clean and dry, day and night, and asked to go to the toilet. Over the past 6 months she has seriously regressed for periods of time. The main problem is not getting to the loo wuickly enough. She'll deny needing teh loo and then wee or poo herslef. Sometimes on the way to the toilet and sometimes wherever she is at the time.
She is completely dry at night so there is no issue with bladder control, as such. She's been tested and doesn't have a UTI. Basically she just can't be bothered to go as it interrupts her play/tv/whatever she's doing. So she either has an accident where she is or leaves it so late that she has an accident on the way to the loo. I'm at my wits end with it. How do I persude her to go to the toilet sooner?
If I ask her if she needs to go, she denies it even when she's squirming or groaning and clearly does. If I take her to the loo at regular intervals she gets upset when she can't 'perform'. I just don't know what to do. I've tried reward charts, smarties each time she goes, talking to her about how uncomfortable it is to wee/poo herself, talking to her about going to loo as soon as she feels the first sensations of needing to go, and taking away tv for the rest of the day if she has an accident. Nothing works. Does anyone have any other suggestions of what I can try? I'm at my wits end with this.
