Potty Trained Daughter Having Accidents

Children often regress when there has been a big change ie: a baby, a move, etc. or when something is bothering them.

its common for children to regress when a new baby is in the home and theres big change. try to be patient and remind her that big girls dont potty in their pants.

So many great responses and ideas here.

Your daughter has a lot on her plate now... the moving and a new baby. A mere child, cannot carry that "burden" on their little shoulders...

My daughter was about the same age when she had pee accidents.... and she had been totally potty trained by then. But, for me, after I had my 2nd child, my daughter had begun to have pee accidents. For her, it was due to stress & anxiety... we talked to her about it... not punishing or anything, but we just let her adjust.... and we just told her teachers at the time, so they would not think she was being "bad" or willful. And no, we did not punish or put "expectations" on her nor "rewards"... and the reason we did not, is BECAUSE things like this are a result of the emotions/worries which they CANNOT CONTROL ACCORDING TO rewards or punishments. They have no control over it.
For my daughter, it stopped. But during the course of the year after I had my 2nd child, whenever she was stressed or anxious... she would have pee accidents. Or, she would tell us that she was just so busy playing, by the time she got to the toilet it was too late...but I "knew" it was more than that. She did seem anxious... since i had had my 2nd child...

Anytime there is a behavioral "regression" it indicates stress on a child, or problems with coping with something.
Emotionally, a 3 year old is still developing, per emotions and understanding everything. And they can't even "know" how to cope many times, much less "explain" it to us, succinctly or articulately. And pee accidents, are a way of coping or not being "able" to cope...although a messy one.

Just try talking with her about it or whatever is bothering her or causing her worry. And she'd need emotional support... without pressure.
It will go back to normalcy...

My daughter got over her pee accidents. On her own. We did nothing to speed it up or to "control" her. We just let her know that we loved her, and we understood that its not easy for her.

All the best,
Susan

Put her in a pull up until after you have moved and things settle down again. I'm sure she'll be fine once things settle a bit.

Have you had her checked for a urinary tract infection?

Has she been drinking a lot more? Has she lost any weight? If so, you might want to have a blood test done to check for Type 1 diabetes. Increased urination is one of the warning signs. Just a thought... Best of luck to you

Hi L.,
It's probably all the changes occuring in her life causing this. But, you can take her to the doctor for a test to make sure she doesn't have an infection.

Meanwhile...we used a positive reinforcement chart to stop a similar problem. We made a calendar of the month. We talked to our son about wetting his pants and using the toilet and told him he'd get a sticker for every day that he stayed dry. (We didn't count night time which was still hard at the time). After 10 stickers he could get a special treat or toy. We did this for 3 or 4 weeks and it solved the problem.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

if you are still in Germany: go to classical homeopath. it will most likely and maybe unfurtunately be an MD, in fact to practice homeopathy in Germany one has to be an MD, but look around to make sure you'll not get the guy who'll just prescribe a bunch of remedies, hoping one will work, hence look for classical homeopath.
if you are in Hawaii: homeopathy is owned by NDs there. Same thing - look for ND with classical homeopathic training.
Good Luck
