It's a process. You have to help make it a success for at least 6 months by asking "Let's try the potty" every couple of hours. I have a 6 yo who will still grasp her vagina and dance in place while she colors and I have to say "I see you have to go to the bathroom, so go". The get absorbed and forget and at 2.5 have accidents and then shame. Help her out. [ Reply | More

thats not how it works (and - with that attitude - i am not surprised you are having problems) you reward GOOD behavior - not punish bad. its the most effective way to teach (proven in animal, adult and child studies) np [ Reply | More

are you kidding me? my attitude is fine, I don't shame her, of course it's all positive reinforcement, that's how she trained herself in the first place.... just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on handling regression. Helpful thoughts, not lecturing. [ Reply | More

Below poster here. I think it was the comment about it NOT being ok to poop in panties (seemed like you were annoyed and she should know better). She is 2.5 and can't alwasy remembers. She spent 2.4 years pooping in her pants and can't unlearn that in 2 weeks without help and a few forgetful moments. That's all. GL. [ Reply | More

But she didn't tell you because she is ashamed and worried about your reaction. You have to say "You're learning to use the potty, mommy will help you remember next time. It's ok you had an accident." and then tell her to try the potty every 1.5 hours or so. Kids poop around the same time each day. Be home and ask her to go. [ Reply | More
