Wet Pants

My daughter is now over 3yrs and I have been toileting her since April, although she was quite good in the beginning, and we sang her all the praises it seems she's regressed. My husband and I are at are wits end. She just refuses to use the toilet before she needs to. She waits until she's saturated and that's how I find her! I can ask her every 10mins and she will still wet her pants! I've tried rewarding her with stickers and treats but to no avail. I don't want to back to nappies. Has anyone got any ideas??

Re: Wet Pants

Tahnae will be 3 in Sept. I noticed with him he regressed after starting kindy and new baby, where previously he had been dry. Things are OK now but sometimes he is just so preoccupied with what he's doing he starts to 'go' before he gets to the toilet - even if i 've asked him if he needs to go ( you know when they start to cross their legs lol!!). Maybe they think they'll miss out on something! Keep praising and reminding her to go. Someone suggested a while ago to put toilet paper in the bowl so it doesn't splash, if that's an issue. Good luck. Julie

Re: Wet Pants

I have this prob with my 3 year old too. she wets herself all the time. at first i thought it was because she is short so there is a step in there. then i put her on the toilet all hte time she would do a wee and then 10 mins later fully saturated again. its driving me and my hubby mental.
At the moment all i am doing is making her clean up the wee off the floor and do her washing. i know sounds bad for a 3 year old but it is helping.

good luck

Re: Wet Pants

Ooops! I wanted to thank all of you! It's an ongoing battle but I guess she won't be doing it when she's 6 (I hope!!!)

Re: Wet Pants

I know how hard it is to have endless patience in a situation like this, but that's what you need to have - and give - right now. It won't be forever. It might be a week or three or it might be a couple of days. It's hard to tell. But once you stop worrying and completely accept that the most important thing you want to do right now is fix this 'problem' and you give all your attention to it in a loving and accepting way, you'll find the road a lot easier to travel. If you can, set aside all your other chores, cancel any outside engagements and 'be there' completely until you and your daughter have accomplished your goal. Trust that your child will be 'dry' soon and she won't disappoint you. If you doubt it then she will too!

Re: Wet Pants

my advice to you is to not rely on what she says.... as sometimes children don't know the feeling of wanting to wee or poo for that matter.... i would just (if i were in your situation) put her on the toilet/ potty every 10 mins for about 5 min, that way it may avoid so many accidents....
I know its gonna be annoying but better than washing heaps of clothes each day!

Re: Wet Pants

I agree with this. When I was training my daughter, I would sit her on the toilet at different intervals without asking. I would say "Let's go to the toilet now" and I'd sit her on the toilet and talk to her for a while. She usually went. I would just keep her there for 5 minutes and if she didn't go I would wait 10 minutes and try again. Then after she went I would go just to show her. Or I'd go first and take her with me then sit her on after me. It didn't take her long to pick it up although she still does have accidents for various reasons. A few weeks ago she wet her pants and was wearing jeans. She gave her reason for not going to the toilet as "I wanted to wear a skirt not jeans" so she simply wanted to change out of her jeans but had been told no by the daycare staff so she wet her pants. So maybe just check to see if there is another reason for her doing that.
