I am at my wits end with this. My DD is 4 (starts school Sept) and was potty trained when 2 yrs old. She goes for weeks or days without having an accident, so she is capable of not wetting herself. The problem keeps coming back though. Recently she has not had a dry day for about three weeks. Mostly it happens at home, but occasionally at pre-school too.
Every day she says she won't do it again, but then does it once or twice the next day. I feel I have tried everything. We started off with getting a sticker for every successful wee, then every dry day. When she got five stickers she got somehting of her choosing - usually a magazine. She has now lost interest in that. Occasionally I use a treat to eat as a reward, but she even gets bored of that.
I've tried taking things away if she has a wet day - no fruit after dinner, no TV, sending her to her room for a bit. Or a combination of both stick and reward - 'If you have a dry day you will get this Kinder egg and of you don't you won't and will have no TV'.
I've tried periods of not reacting to it, and the last few days I have been reacting because it is just infuriating me. I know she can do it properly, so it's like she is choosing not to or not bothering. There seems to be no pattern as to when she has dry/wet days.
Today, exasperated, I even ate the kinder egg that she 'lost' in front of her with a cup of tea. Hence why I'm writing this post. She didn't seem that bothered.
