We started potty training our daughter (26 months) on Sunday. At first it was going well. She’d come over to the potty and do a wee pretty easily though we did have a few floor accidents. Poo was a bit more of an issue but yesterday morning she finally did one.
But then she had a nap and woke up terrified of the potty. She now runs around clutching her bits and cry screaming for a nappy. She refuses to sit on it or use the toilet steps at all.
I don’t know what to do as she has to crack it this week or not at all as her childminder won’t support us training her (or any child). She wants them fully dry before returning to her.
I’ve put her back in nappies this morning as I’ve had the flu since Tuesday and my husband has to go back to work today. I physically can’t chase her round at the moment or handle the constant screaming.
Has this kind of regression happened to anyone else's child? I can’t think of what’s caused it as she was fine yesterday morning and we were really pleased with her progress.
