Toileting

I have a 4 year old daughter who is having accidents during the day, she can go days where she doesn't have any then days where she's having constant accidents. I'm just getting worried now as she's starting school in August so want this to be sorted for her. I've tried sticker charts, marble jar, rewarding her with prizes it doesn't work. Can anyone give me more tips.

Unfortunately accidents happen, I'm not sure there is any tips to help. But the school will be used to the kids being too involved in playing and needing reminders. It's normal at this age.

We're a lot younger- 2, nearly 3 but have stopped accidents by taking her to the toilet every 30 mins. It's a faff but she seems to be responding to our praise of "you had no accidents today, well done!!!". Plan is to create a habit in her so that going to the loo is second nature, rather than something which stops play.

Good luck.

Is she busy playing and can't bee bothered? Quite a few children are like this and need to learn through experience. Accidents are common in reception but she will need to deal with the consequences eg change her pants etc. She could do that at home.
