my daughter did the same thing i put her back in pull ups it will stay forever if it doesent stop soon shes probably not learning any thing any way except if she just pees its faste than stoping what shes doing since you will clean it up i went thru this for 3 years with cgirls back to pull ups and let her know when other kids her age or younger are no longer needing them or diapers
and if she still doin this at 5 or six then she should see a urilogoist since its more than jurt potty training there may be something wrong.

Have you had her tested for a bladder infection or yeast infection? Sometimes this can be that cause of multiple accidents when usually there are not many. If that is a possiblity that is an easy fix :) ....Not that you hope she has an infection, but it does solve the problem with the accidents hopefully.

Read some of the comments about getting her to help clean up, the only way my daughter helped clean up was to take her undies/panties to the wash for me, I would tell her yucky, you have to use the toilet when you need to wee, I would give her the soiled clothes and tell her to put them in the wash for me please, then she would come back and I would tell her to go to the toilet.

My daughter has done pretty well with her toilet training but she had a stage where she took her 2 steps back it seemed to last forever, she would pull her pants down and just wee where she stood, I would just tell her to go to the toilet and she would go sit there for a little bit, shes doing pretty well now, goes to the toilet without my encouragement (for the most part), but Im not brave enough to go out without a nappy yet, has she got open access to the toilet or potty? My toilet door is always open and her seat is for the most part always on (unless my partner has been as he can't master the art of putting it back on there for her), Maybe you could take notice of when she drinks and try note how long on average it takes for her to need to wee afterwards and try to take her around then, we used to sit in the toilet for at least 5-10mins before my daughter would go. Pull-ups are a good idea if you feel it will work. Follow your gut, if she seems to be having her two steps back and its hard to cope with then certainly pull-ups are a feasible option. Hope this helps.

We had the same problem with our son. If you're at home and she has an accident, I would recommend not making a big deal out of the accident BUT (depending on how old she is), have her help you with clean up both of herself and the soiled objects. Some children need to be faced with clean up duty in order to understand how yucky it can be for mommy and daddy to clean up. Explain to her that it's smelly and yucky and feels gross, that you don't like to clean it up so since it came out of her then she needs to look after it and be sure it ends up where it belongs. In the toilet. Of course, if she is still very young (like2) than I would chalk it up to her body being a bit behind what she may desire, and give her back some pull ups until her body has grown up some more. Feel and learn are great because it can give her a cue that she can pay attention to and make a big show of making it to the toilet and getting it into the potty before she was all wet.

get the mats like what the hospital uses on theirs bed when u go into labor and have her sit on those anywhere she decides to sit in the house if she doesn't potty and then after she potty's she can stay off of it for a while

Okay, I'm gonna be the one... first take her to the doctor and make sure she doesn't have a bladder infection. When they get those, they lose the sensation of knowing when they need to go. After you're sure she's not dealing with an infection, then it's okay to take other measures, like having special books she can read only on the potty, decorating the kids' bathroom in some very appealing scheme and then keeping it off-limits to her until she learns how to use the potty because the pretty bathroom is a special place only for those who use the toilet. Or the M&Ms or stickers or whatever appeals to your child. I would not recommend putting her back in pull-ups though. In my experience, that will lead her the opposite way. It will send the signal that toilet training is optional. If she was dry for months, then she can be dry again. :) Don't give up hope.

I agree with keeping her off the furniture but also what are you doing when she has an accident? maybe try making her clean up her own messes. When we started that with my son he picked up going when mommy asked him to really fast!

I wouldn't but I would tell her until she starts going back on the potty she isn't allowed on the furniture. She knows what she is doing and just being lazy. So tell her until she starts going on the potty she has to sit on the floor. She won't like that.

With my sons I used cloth training pants with the plastic covers. they absolutely hated that wet feeling against their skin. my second son required a little more incentive. I kept a big bag of M&M's on top of the fridge (his favorite candy) and every time he went in the potty he got one M&M. I know I know bribing with candy but one M&M for each time in the potty hardly seemed like an awful thing. He doesn't even like candy now.

I agree with the sticker chart. I'm using that for my daughter. Before throwing anything out try cleaning it with a vinegar solution. It is meant for cat stains, but it does work for other pee stains.

I wouldn't use the peroxide solution that the site talks about, on most fabrics as peroxide can discolor them.

That will at least keep your house smelling better while you help your daughter get back on track.

This is a tuff one. I have 4 children Jacob 14.5, Aubreann 9.5, Patience 7.5 and Ryan 3 and am pregnant. DONT GIVE IN.. This is something that they do for some reason but once you go backwards its truly hard to go forward again. Next time you put her on the potty give her something to drink and then put her on the potty again.. You will have to do this every day for at least a week before it truly sets in and becomes routine.. After doing this she will hate to be wet. I cal it potty learning.. You can teach them how it works but in all she isn't a dog so we cant train them.. And throw out the chair but let her know that you have to throw it out because it has potty on it and its really important that the only place we potty is n the toilet. Maybe a chart just for her with a special sticker for each time she goes potty and if possible when she gets so many take her to pick out her own cool princess panties to help encourage her.
