Did your toddler have bad days while being potty trained?

Don't worry this is all perfectly natural if a little unsettling. Potty training is a really big thing for children to learn as the sensation of needing the toilet is actually recognised by nerves in the spine which are not fully developed until around 2 years. So to have your 2 yr old using a potty is really great!! Although it is frustrating for you this is a new skill for your daughter to learn and all new skills require practice. Think back to when she was younger and was learning to crawl, walk, feed herself. I bet you had set backs with those too. Generally at her age she will be easily distracted by things so she will not recognise the need to pee until it is too late. Remember that she will only have a small bladder and when she realises she needs to go is probably very shortly before she does! Potty training requires a lot of patience and encouragement. I found that it was best to ask frequently if my child needed the toilet especially after drinking but not make a big deal of it. If it is a while since she has been try taking her to the potty 'just to make sure' and give loads of positive praise if she does something. I also found smarties a great incentive to go to the potty although my daughter did think she would get one just for sitting on it lol Just hang on in there and remember it is completely normal for this to happen

It happens and it's normal .May be she drank a lot last night .I would stop giving liquids at least 2 hours before bed.Keep reminding her to go , also don't be harsh or punish her so she is not scared so it doesn't back fire .whenever you turn in bed , ask her if she needs to go. I hope this helps ..
