Our daughter was potty trained within a couple of days when she was a little over 2. Our twins took longer, but are also potty trained. The issue is: we have weeks, sometimes, where they seemingly forget that they know how to use the potty!

Anybody know why??
And what have those of you who've experienced this done to handle it?

I think it's normal, I mean they're learning something new almost every day. It'll take lots of patience on your part and persistence. However try not to be too hard on them; they'll get the hang of it soon enough,

That's what I do, too. I was hoping there was something more effective! ;P

My daughter does the exact same thing. She just turned two but has been training for a while. She is soo good about it sometimes but others she doesnt unless I take her. If I see that she is not going I keep her in her panties and takes her about every 30 mins. She goes if I take her and put her on the potty and stand there and wait until she has finished. After a few days of that she starts going again. I get frustrated with it a lot but I am trying to keep it up so that she will keep going on her own.
