Potty Training - Riverside,CA

Hi RR-

Pull ups are great for Mom/ Dad, but not for the child. One reason kids learn to use the potty, is their underwear gets a little wet. Pull ups pulls the moisture away from the skin and the kids do not feel the sensation.

Also, pull ups are easy. Why walk all the way to the bathroom, when you can just go in a pull up. For you & I that would be weird, but that's how he's gone to the bathroom all his life, so it's normal for him.

I suggest going pull up free for a while.

Stop using pull ups and put him in underwear. Pull ups are more expensive version of a diaper. If he still has accidents, put him on a 30 min potty schedule and expand on that time as needed

Good luck

I'd stop using pull-ups! He knows he can pee in them without really having an accident. We found them to be overpriced diapers that weren't really effective. We had to go cold turkey. Good luck.

Maybe he is having a 'regression'.....
this happens sometimes.
My daughter did that too, about that age. It was when I had my 2nd child.
Some kids, 'regress' and start having pee accidents... it is usually due to some sort of 'stress' or change in their homelife/life.

just a possibility,
all the best,
Susan

I would rid of the pullup, it's a diaper without tape, and use reward and discipline J.
