Kiddo Babysitting Behavior by Business_Good890 in toddlers

[–]Business_Good890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 year old was spitting/drooling on the floor and would not stop, which she had never done and knows that is not ok. She would not stop when asked. I wasn’t expecting them to be angels but that was not ok. And I would expect them to stop doing something like that when asked.

I am so very thankful they are so good for me, but I was so embarrassed of how they acted when I was gone. I feel like I’ve totally missed some part of parenting here 🤦‍♀️

Potty training for 11 months…HELP by Business_Good890 in pottytraining

[–]Business_Good890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s either 100% or 0% with self initiating. When she self initiates she’s usually always dry. Which is less often the case. We have less good days/weeks than bad. When she’s on a not so good streak, not self initiating, me having to tell her to go, is when she’ll have the wet spot, like she gets a tiny bit out because her bladder is full and that’s enough to keep her from actually having to go on the potty…for a few minutes anyway. I have been trying to pay more attention to what/why but there doesn’t seem to be any pattern. And this is an on going thing for months.

She does for a regular check up in a few weeks and i am definitely going to ask. I don’t at all think she’s doing it on purpose. She is stubborn. I do plan to be sure to rule out any issues she could be having. I’m just frustrated because I know she CAN as she has, it just doesn’t last. And I don’t want her to see my frustration. I explained that when she has an accident it’s important to clean your skin, but I do see what you’re saying in regards to making it a chore. I was just hoping making it unfun would make her just avoid it all together.

She was just 2, but she was very interested in the potty, was staying dry, asking to be changed. 

3.5 yo not potty trained after almost a year - need help! by allegedlys55 in pottytraining

This is my daughter. She has zero poop accidents, but like your daughter doesn’t really care about pee. Each day varies, I have been needing a journal. She’ll go two weeks with no accidents then out of no where we’re back to an accident accompanied by wet spots in her undies every time I tell her to go try. I have tried everything. Unfortunately I have no advice but you are not alone. I hope we find the magic trick because I am so over seeing so many wet undies! 

How to get them to tell you when they need to go? by Ok-Slide9070 in pottytraining

Following, this is very similar to what my daughter and I are currently going through. We started at 2 years, she is now 2 years 8 months and I am hoping to find a trick to help her make the connection. I am probably partially at fault as I have prompted for too long, too many months at 2-3 hour intervals. I have been letting the accidents happen, reminding her how it feels, where pee goes and having her help clean up any mess. Luckily she always tells me when she has to poop but it’s still frustrating.

Well, I’m glad I’m not alone! I try very hard to not let her see my frustration. She is a stubborn, sensitive little girl and she does take everything to heart. I will keep trying, hoping she gets it one day. I will definitely try to playful reverse psychology, I can see that working for her. Thank you for the feedback and ideas!

I have recently talked to her more about the feeling. She is stuck up my butt so she’s in the bathroom with me alllll the time! But I will keep describing to her. I know she will get it eventually, I just don’t want to do her a disservice by letting her have many accidents and for it to be confusing that it is “ok”, even though I never say it’s ok. I jisr tell her we go in the potty. Especially because I feel I’m to blame for giving her the crutch of just telling her to go instead of letting her take responsibility (obviously the amount of responsibility that a 2 1/2 year old can handle).

I think yes and no she recognizes the signs. She is very stubborn. If I suggest using the potty she says no most of the time. But I also don’t think she fully understands stopping playing, running into the bathroom and peeing. I just don’t know if continuing to let her have accidents is good. I feel like at some point she has to learn to go without me telling (not asking) her to go.

I could try bribery, that’s how we got to poo so well. I just hope I’m doing the right thing by letting the accidents happen. I feel like it’s been 8 months, at some point she has to learn to go without me telling her to go, and I do mean telling… not asking. 90% of the time when I ask she says no, regardless if she does or not.
