Potty Training Issue -- Planned Peeing on Carpet

I thought this was just a boy thing! My eldest (girl) never did this. But, both my boys have. I didn't react so calmly. It is definitely a behavior issue and you need to discipline her somehow. One son did it at 5 years old twice, the other (I assume learned from older brother) did it at 2. Both haven't done it after being discplined for it. It could be for attention, or rebelliousness, but I think they just thought it would be funny. Once they found out I didn't think it was so funny, they stopped. They love to catch me off guard and shock me. They think it's the greatest thing.

have her clean up her own mess. She is testing you and right now it seems like your on the losing team. Start taking away her big girl toys and tell her that big girls use the potty not the carpet. Dont reward her and dont stay positive about this any longer, she knows what she is doing and shes using her pee against you.

If she's doing it to see your reaction, she's wanting your attention. Don't reward her bad behavior by cleaning her up. Instead of reacting, ask her to go clean herself up or stay dirty.

My daughter did this anytime I scolded her for anything! I got her to stop by not making a big deal about it and I made her clean it up because she made the mess. I stayed very calm and explained why she had to clean it and I always reminded her that "big girls go in the potty. are you a big girl?" Sometimes she said that she was a baby, so I would tell her that I had to take away her big girl toys and she would have to lay in a crib all day. I think I only put her into bed once on this. For us it was an issue of who has control and her pushing the boundaries.

My daughter was doing the same thing basically. She never had accidents at friends or church but always had accidents here at the house. She didn't do it where we could see it though. In fact, there was one spot in her room where she would pee all the time. Once we realized that she knew how to potty and that it was no longer a training issue but a behavioral issue, we started disciplining her for it and she had to clean it up. She doesn't have that problem at all anymore. When she started getting in trouble for it, she stopped it quickly.
