what should i do with a 5 YO DD that keeps having accident's. it's become a huge problem. she only had one accident the entire time she was in the 3's program but i think it was b/c it was a shorter day and she just didn't go. this year in her 4's program she had a lot of accidents at the beginning of the year and they started again at the end of the year. she's also been having them a lot in summer camp. we have a lot of change going on this past year and it will continue through the fall but i dont' know what to do. she's going to start K? should i not send her if she's having accidents?

You might consider taking the pressure totally off by having her use pull ups for two weeks. She'll go in the pull up, if need be, then remove it and wipe herself. Since she's trained, using pull ups as a transitional tool isn't a regression, and might help. [ Reply | More

i guess i could try it. just worried me that she'd suddenly just think it was totally okay to pee in her pull up. but i guess it's better than being embarasseed at school. although strangely she is not a bit embarassed at this point but i'm worried in K, she midght be made fun of by other kids [ Reply | More

I feel for you. We just finished a year of 4 yo ds pooping in his pants but oddly enough, he never did it at preschool. So frustrating. He finally stopped. But I'd do the pull up idea for K...I think peer pressure will set in by then though as they are forced to be much more independent in K....she may be doing it for attention but in K she will soon realize that she isn't going to be coddled anymore [ Reply | More
