My 3 Year Old Is Having Accidents Again

I agree with the other posters, however this does happen even in kids without big changes. They go through these periods sometimes. I am amazed you got her accident free at night! YOU GO WOMAN!!!! hehe Anyway, I have a three year old girl named Kaylee...she just turned 3. Anyway, she has been day potty trained for a little while already(no where near at night), but sometimes she has these spells where she wants to be the baby and will have accidents. When that happens I go to sesames streets elmos world (Yahoo search will find it asap) and I click on the first game called elmos potty time....It is real easy to use and gets the point across fast. All your daughter will have to do is press the space bar to get elmo and friends to go potty when they say they have to go. Anyway...this works for my daughter to remind her....and the fact she gets to use the comp makes her feel really big. Maybe it will work for you too. Also, the bigger deal you make of it, the worse it will be. She is still 3. Don't fight and yell with her about it...it will just make it worse.

****ALSO, if she gets busy playing with your sisters kids, she may have just forgot! It is easy to do with a lot of distractions. ELMO should be a great hit though

I suggest getting a product called PODs from www.pottytrainingsolutions.com, they are terrific and normally they would be used on someone who is like your daughter close to being potty trained but not quite there, and unfortunately she has reverted somewhat, but things will get better. She may not want to go to the potty with all the other people in the house and she may just not feel comfortable, but things will get better just keep encouraging her and making her go potty even if you have to hold her on the seat, she will get back into the hang of it.

Hello there :) I have a 3 year old son and a 15 month old daughter. When we moved my son did the same thing. You are right about change having an effect on it. What I did was is I gave him some space..and sometimes would ask him if he had to go, and when he said no I would just say ok. Also I would offer to read him a story while he sat or find a reward for him if he went. You can also give her the responsiblity of changing her own pull-up if she decides to go in her pull-up instead of her potty (I know you need to help her if she poops) This gives them some control but also they usually get tired of being responsible for thier own dirty pull-ups and lose interest in going in them. My son eventually got comfortable angain and is now fully potty trained.. I hope this helps :)

I have a 3 year old who potty trained over night. Then 3 months later he started to regress. I had NO idea what to do, so i asked the daycare for advise. She told me to not baby him, focus on what big boys do. Don't give into him and put a pull up on, if he has an accident just focus on what a big boy he is. It worked. The doctor also told me if i put a pull up on him it would make him regress more because he felt like a baby. Good luck!

It is normal for children to revert back in times of stress or change. I agree with Sarah that she may just feel uncomfortable with extra people around, even though they are family. Just be patient with her and don't make an issue about it and she will be back to her normal potty trained self before you know it.
