25 Mos Old Who Was Potty Traind for over 3 Mos, Came Back to Diapers!!!

She doesn't know why she's doing it. And it is a normal thing for children who have been potty trained to regress. It's OK to let her wear diapers again for a short time, get over you being mad, and start over with the training.

My daughter was trained by 26 months. I started, slowly, when she was 14 months old. I knew with her personality that if I didn't start early it would become a power struggle. Don't make this into a power struggle with your daughter. She isn't doing this to make you mad. But, if it makes you mad, she may decide to keep doing it. At some ages, any attention is good attention. So take a deep breath...

(Yes, our kids can "piss us off" some times.)

your daughter is just barely 2, give her a break. my daughter wasn't potty trained until just after 3, even though i started at 2 and a half. even at 3 she would still poop in her panties and then tell me about it. we finally got out of the night time pull ups at age 4. your daughter is going to have accidents, it's inevidable. don't get mad at her, she can't help it. just be calm, tell her it's ok..it takes practice, and then give her a hug and a kiss. otherwise she is going to feel ashamed of what she did and you don't want that. good luck and relax, it will happen in time

At her age, you were technically practicing elimination control, not the same as potty training at all. You are likely just going to have to start all over again, when her body and mind are ready to commit.. one reason why I waited till my kids were ready, not worth a year+ of hassle.

Really though, she isn't even two. Even in older kids, regression is normal. She can't tell you why she does something or not, even most adults can't tell you why they do certain things. Her brain just isn't capable of understanding certain things. It's really sad she pisses you off... good luck potty training for real this time!

Your daughter was potty trained. She is having a regression. They happen during big developmental shifts. Throw out the diapers and start again. I had the same thing happen with my daughter.

Also, 2 year olds are very distracted! Since they are so young, they will ignore their body's signal for fear they will miss out on the fun. I am having this problem with my potty trained 24 month old.

Lastly, if you let it piss you off, she is going to use it to piss you off. So stop showing any negative emotion! She doesn't know why she is having accidents, there is no logic at this age. So, get rid of the diapers and only use positive encouragement. And whatever you do, do not show you are frustrated! I have a feeling see is feeling your frustrated.
