Potty Training Twins
If you have twins or children of a similar age you may feel that potty training them together may seem like a time-saver, but it doesn’t always work out that way, as your children may approach readiness at different times.
A key point to remember is that not all children are ready at the same time [...]
Potty Training Regression?
My daughter is just about to turn 3 March 7th. She’s been potty trained for about 4 months now. She was doing AWESOME until about 2 weeks ago, she started peeing in her pants again. I know she’s doing it on purpose too! The last 2 days she’s been doing really well again. Is her regression over? I’m also due for another baby ANY day now, is she gonna regress again when the baby gets here? I know they say not to punish for them peeing in their pants, but it’s hard knowing she’s doing it on purpose sometimes! Should I spank her when she does it?

I felt compelled to respond to your question because my son turns 3 on March 7th as well - crazy!
ReplyI don’t have an answer to your question however, because to this day my kid is still not potty trained, so who am I to give advice.
I don’t know where we went wrong but the kid refuses to use the potty. In fact, he could care less if he crapped himself or not, it doesn’t seem to bother him having crap all over his as s. Oh well! At least your daughter was potty trained at one point, more than I can say for my kid!
Sorry for a lack of an answer, but good luck!
I am having kinda the same problem, mine just turned 4 and she is pretty much trained, but at least once a day she will pee in her pants and yes i spank her when she does, I don’t think its wrong for a light spank on the butt when they do something that they know they shouldn’t, if its a accident the that would be a different story, but don’t worry because one day they will get the potty training down
ReplyMy daughter was almost 4 when her brother was born. She was perfectly trained and then started having wetting herself. We tolerated about 3 accidents and the 4th time I spanked her bare butt and put her in time out. It worked and she hasn’t done it since. I’m sure I’ll get lots of thumbs down, but she was being manipulative in a bid for attention so spanking her taught her not to do it again or she’d get another spanking. If the consequences aren’t enough of a deterrent, then they might just keep it up.
ReplyThis sounds completely and totally normal. If it were me, I would talk to her pediatrician about it. They should be able to you what you can do when this happens. And I don’t think spanking is ever okay to do. Definitely don’t do that.
ReplyI think you need to make sure you are spending plenty of time with her especially with another on the way she may start to feel left out and like you have forgotten about which will cause her to try and get the attention anyway she knows how. Try and get her involved in the new baby like get her to help you feed the lil’ one or fetch blankets etc just so she feels important
