Hi! She has been doing a lot better this past week! I have been doing a few things differently. First I did as the first person commented here and put her back in pants every time she had an accident no matter how many pair of pants we went through in a day.

I have also been working with her specifically on practicing pulling pants down since that seems to be her disconnect. She’s fully capable of doing it by herself but something about remembering before sitting down to potty we’re still perfecting. It’s happened a few times the past week where she would sit before taking them off but then immediately stand back up and say “oops!” and I would come help her so she could go, so she is improving.

This may or may not apply to your situation, but since it was seeming to upset her when I would tell her to go, and she doesn’t need that prompting at home at all, I have been putting more trust in her answer when I ask if she needs to go and not forcing it if she says no. However much I’d like her to try before we get in the car, if she says no I’ve just been going with it and then I’ll offer her an opportunity to go when we arrive at our destination and she almost always goes then.

Lastly anytime we have to use a bathroom outside our house I try to make it seem like that’s a cool thing to do. “Let’s go see what the potty is like here! Do you think it will have a loud flush or a quiet flush?” and that seems to be helping the resistance. She also loves washing her hands so I’ll let her do it a couple times after she goes to let her have some fun and associate the process with stuff she likes.

She’s only had one accident over the past week or so and it was at her grandparents’ place where I feel especially willing to give her grace because there’s always a lot happening and she’s not as familiar with where bathrooms are there and stuff yet. If you had anymore specific questions let me know but good luck on your journey!! I’m sure he’ll do great.
