Potty Training issues

So, yeah.

I can't get my 3-year-old potty trained.

Now, she's been number 2 trained for months. Until this past week. She has had a poop accident 5 days in a row now.

I'm about ready to give up, except I don't know what that will do.

First: relax. This, too, shall pass. It may take longer than you want, but it will happen.

Second, don't be too quick to change diapers/training pants. Sitting in a wet diaper or a pile of poop is not comfortable, and she'll learn faster to go potty if she has a price to pay.

Third: what happened? Regression typically means that something changed, usually for the worse, and often traumatic. It may not be easy to figure out, and she may not even know herself.

I used this for all five of my children. ("I" as in Vort, me, personally.) Worked just great. Would probably have worked even better if I had followed the instructions scrupulously and not taken shortcuts. I very highly recommend it. Available for free at your local library, or for a few bucks through Amazon.

Well, I was dallying about on this website (spring break! whoot!) when I heard the toilet flush. I came in to find bits of poo on her potty and in the sides of the toilet. Makes me feel this weird accident thing isn't pure regression. I offered her a heart sticker for her chart, but she insisted on the giant jewel.

May this one day end.

I used the same thing!  Took me more than a day but it was fairly easy peasy.  It took a few years (yes, years) for one child to get over peeing while sleeping but the day stuff was a breeze.

Now they're teen-agers, this is potty training in my house:

Gee, Vort, I didn't know you had that problem.  :P

(isn't selective editing a peach?) :rolleyes:
