Potty Training Problem - Crown Point,IN

i put underpants with pull up over so she was uncomfortable the floor and sheets were safe she learned quick

I had the same thing happen to me with my son a souple months ago. He was doing number one just fine and would go hide when he had to go number two. He would always go in his pants.

What worked for us was...
lots of water for him so his stools were loose and he would have an easy time passing them.
(Alot of his fear of going came from him just not liking the feeling he had when he pooped)

We took him to Chucky Cheese after the first 2 times he went on the potty and we made a HUGE deal out of it! We had a sticker chart with rewards every 4 boxes too.

I acted sad when he went in his pants and we bought him character underwear and told him that "Lightning McQueen" gets really sad/mad if he gets wet or dirty.

Don't use pull ups! They are too absorbant and your daughter will not mind being wet.

Good Luck!

I got this little bit of advice from Easter Seals... try finding a favorite toy that requires her to push a button to make music. Take it in the bathroom and tell her everytime she goes "tinkle" in the toilet, she can press a button and make music. Make it a reward game in the bathroom and she will want to "play" (pee) in the toilet. Dolls are great friends in the bathroom too, especially if she can put her doll on a potty of her own. They can potty together, this definately worked for my daughter when she was 3.
One thing I wanted to add about the in-law situation, you have to let them know that your daughter needs "positive" reinforcement for doing the right thing on the potty. In-laws sometimes forget this and can become diciplinary enforcers for this delicate situation. Explain your routine and rewards system in no uncertian terms so that they get it. Otherwise, for every step you take forward, they will set you back two steps for their wrong actions. Remember, she's Your little angel, not theirs. Some people forget that fact, and can be really insensitive, even when they are your in-laws who mean well.
P.S. never tell your little girl that she has to be a "big girl" or "all grown up", when it comes to potty training. Trust me, from experience, this will backfire in your face when she very cleverly says, "but I want to be your little girl". Which in their world is a very logical statement... to them.
Use terms like, a "smart girl" if you have to, or "your doing the right thing, hunny." But avoid the whole "big girl" trap. Just let her be your "girl" period! no pressures on the lil psyche to "perform" a bodily function.

Did anything trigger this regression? Sometimes kids test us in amazing ways, while other times, it is not so volitional. Once you determine if something caused the change, you can better address it and resolve it.

What worked when you were training her? -stickers? food treats? - Whatever it was, may repeat the process and up the ante or start a new process.

With my daughter, we simply reminded her that since she was not really a "big girl" (or old enough or whatever words work in your case) we could not take her to storytime at the library. We used it as the reward with a little sticker chart and she was successful very quickly. This worked in her case quite contrary to the another poster as she knew she would always be my little girl/my baby, etc but understood it was the situation that required certain behaviors. (Just like a child has to behave differently in a playground versus a restaurant versus church, there are certain behaviors/things that differentiate a baby in diapers versus a big girl in underwear.)
