my 4 year old daughter was fully potty trained but for the past month she has stopped using the toilet for wee's (she does not wet herself at kindy or wen we are out) we have tried ignoring it and just telling her to go get changed, rewarding wen she goes, taking away privliges and the naughty corner please help as my 2 year old in the process of toilet training but copies everything her big sister does and i do NOT want her copying this habit

My guess would be that she is having 'accidents' because your two year old is getting all the potty attention - if you discipline her for it you are giving her attention for it which is what she wants. Maybe you could start over-the-top praising her when she does use the toilet when you are out (if you need to, keep her out till she needs to go), like with clapping, huge smiles, lots of hugs and telling her how proud you are. If you give her that reaction at home she should start using the toilet again. If you continue to ignore her accidents and just tell her to get changed then walk away she should start getting the idea.
Good luck!
