I have a 3yr old daughter that has been in the process of potty learning since she turned 18 months. She has been dry at night since she turned 2. When we are away from home, she stays dry. At home she chooses to act like a baby - her words. I have tried books, videos, charts, rewards, consequences, etc but she still wants to be a baby at home. 3 days a week I have her in a child center at the fitness center - she has had accidents there multiple times wearing panties - this is the exception to the "away from home" rule. I have chosen to make it easier on the providers there and have her wear a disposable pull-up. 99% of the time she is dry when leaving there, but about half time when I have let her wear the panties she has accidents.
She has many different styles of panties to wear and understand completely how to use the toilet, she just chooses not to. We (daddy, older sister and myself) encourage her and make a big deal out of going potty and stinky in the toilet. She likes all the excitement, but later chooses not to use the toilet.
I am not opposed to cleaning up messes, but when she doesn't even care that she had an accident I don't see the point in letting her make the mess. I clean the mess and her up matter of factly.
I was pushing hard for a while and nothing was working so I backed off. Now I am wanting to rush her again. |
