My DD is 2.5 and we've been toilet training for about 6 weeks now. All started off rosy. After the first 3 days she was dry for 6 days, then she started to have accidents and then it all unravelled.
Her behaviour in general has deterioated since we started toilet training and she has become ultra defiant, especially about using the loo. She has had about 4 dry days ( 3 of them last week) and she has even just gone and used the loo as and when she needs to without even telling us. So we know she can do it.
If you ask her if she needs the loo or tell her it's time to use the loo she just says no. She often has an accident seconds after telling us she doesn't need to go. She's even screamed that she doesn't need the loo while wetting herself. Sometimes she'll say she needs a wee then get as far as the loo/potty and refuse and therefore wees right next to the damn thing. This week she has even started weeing on me and my husband on purpose.
My DH is out of work at the mo and things are pretty tense at home and DD's defiance in general and on the loo front in particular are really getting to DH (and me). He shouted at her twice today when she wet herself (that's really not his style)but he also finds it hard to hide his dissapointment. When she gets it right we do high fives, big kisses, a special dance and have a reward chart. She doesn't want to go back to nappies but I'm not sure what to do to relieve the pressure. Any suggestions. (sorry this is so long!)
