My daughter is 5 1/2 years old. She starts Kindergarten in the fall, but is now attending pre-K summer school for half days. The past three weeks she has begun to have accidents very frequently. They are usually during an outside activity, or at recess during summer school. She says she is "just having too much fun" to go in to potty. She will just squat and go. At home she will try to make it to go, but if she does have an accident, she won't tell me. She just stays in the dirty underwear and ends up with bad rashes. We've tried positive reinforcement, limiting her "fun" activities she will have the incentive to go to a bathroom, and talked to her teacher to make sure she gets the idea to go. My daughter will still not take the initiative get to the bathroom. I don't want to hold her back from school this fall, she's already been held due to her birthdate. Kids can be very cruel when they find a weakness, I don't want her subject to peer ridicule. She is in two other activities (swimming and t-ball) and she has been ignoring the bathroom etiquette in both. I refuse to shame her and make her wear diapers. She has asked to wear pull-ups "just in case," but I know she will use it as an excuse to go ahead and go in them. I'm ready to cry whenever I discover her dirty underwear on her! What should we do? |

My son turned 4 in Feb and we have been training him for 2 yrs and he still has accidents. We tell him to go to the bathroom and he makes it seem like it's a chore and that he doesn't have to do it. My husband thinks he should go back in diapers but I think that's a bad idea. help I don't know what to try! |

Good morning!
I have a five year old who is about to start kindergarten. Without saying too much, I'll say that she's undergone some stress this year. Her father, my boyfriend, has gotten full custody of her and we are trying to get her adjusted to a regular schedule.
She was potty trained, but has regressed since the move/upheaval. We thought it was because of the stress, but when we talked to her about it, she said that she didn't go because she was "too busy" or "didn't feel like going".
To combat this, I've started making her try to go almost every hour and we've gotten it to the point where she'll go if she's awake. When she sleeps, however, she will refuse to get up and goes in the bed. We thought it was happening when she was asleep, but we both check and she's dry until she wakes up and "doesn't feel like getting up". I bought her an alarm clock and she knows that when it goes off, it's time to get up and go potty. She's really good during nap time at getting up with the alarm and going potty. That being said, she ignores the alarm in the morning and goes potty in the bed. We make her clean herself up and put the sheets in the washing machine... but it is still happening.
I'm sorry for the long post, but we really have tried everything and we don't know what to do now.... Any suggestions? |

I have a son who is almost 4 1/2 he pees in the potty at home but refuses to do it anywhere else.He's been struggling with chronic constipation and says his butt hurts and refuses to even attempt to poop in the potty.He just started preschool today and I worry he won't tell the teacher when he has to pee.I've tried changing his diet and getting him to drink more water,nothing is helping.I try bribing him to poop in the potty but nothing I have tried works.I'm seriously afraid of him going into kindergarten and still not pooping in the potty,what should I do? |

Our daughter just turned 4. She is in 4K this year. She was completely pee trained at 3 and then she had problems pooping and would hold it. We finally I think got her regulated with pooping. After our twins were both about 11 months ago she regresed really bad. It's to the point where she is peeing pooping and not caring at all. If I try and make it go it seems like a chore too like others aid and she refused to go or it seems like if it's something I want her to do she refuses. Sometimes she will go willingly but not always. At school it's hit or miss. We thtough being in school would help but it's not. We dont' know what to do now. We are going to talke with a child pyschologist this week to see if there's something we can do. She is a very button pushing child and gets in trouble frequently. She can be the sweetest girl and then be terrible. We put her on timeouts etc. We use the 1, 2, 3, method on 3 a timeout. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Being more consistant works. But we are just at a loss for what to do with this potty training. I don't want to send her to Kindergarten if she isn't trained...... |
