Problems with 4 year old having constant accidents
Hi there,
I have a set of triplets, 2 boys and a girl. All are 4 years old. The girl was potty trained first and did really well but in recent months has stopped going to the toilet and has constant accidents. She also drinks a lot of fluids and has to go frequently. The boys are both dry, day and night and have no accidents at all.
I am getting a little worried as they start school in Sept and I am at the end of my tether with this.
She always does her poo in the toilet.
In every other sense she is a model child and does know what she is doing. Pls help.
Nina

i have twins age2, and a daughter age 4.
she is in pre school - but starts full time school in september.
she has up to 5 wetting accidents a day - and its a nightmare.
got so bad this week that she has nappy rash oon her bikini line - where she has kept wet pants on at pre school all morning....
my girl has been doing this since xmas eve - when she dislocated her elbow.. I am not sure why this would cause wetting for 6 months though!
i have tried reward charts and all sorts of things that have not worked.
what have you tried? also has your health visitor got any good tips? mine has tried to help - but her suggestions of rewrd charts and positive attitudes have not really helped me....
has your daughter been previously dry - and what age did you potty train her - cause my girl was dry and trained at age 2. HV now says that was too early to train - and could be why she has "given up". i am now nervous about training my 2 year olds....
I've got a 2 year old son and probably wont consider try to potty train him until at least 2 1/2.
Good luck because it is stressful isn't it.
