Help! My four year old has forgotten her toilet training.

I agree that it is just an attention-catching technique your child is doing. My child used to pee on her pants sleeping which she hasn;t done for years and that was when I get busy with work. Some psychologists say that children might be emotionally distressed so they tend to forget their potty trainings. I hope your child would soon be back to her bestself again. Goodluck!

Is there anything thats changed recently that might have upset her? Our daughter is 4 and 7 months ago we moved house and her fav teacher left at preschool it was all a bit much and she started wetting at nursery purely for attention. They had a sticker chart there to help encourage her to use the toilet but it took a good 3 months to stop, we knew she would as she was fine at home.

So maybe get a sticker chart and tell her to put a sticker on it ever time she uses the toilet herself and she can have a little treat when she has filled it all (make sure you leave gaps for accidents!)

Also I printed some of my daughters fav characters on plain pink knickers its our business anyway but you can buy the paper and use a home iron, and for every day she was dry she got a brand new pair of knickers she also didnt want to wet in them so that was the biggest thing that helped her

Good luck but it will pass dont worry

It does sound like an attention thing. My stepson does the same thing if the bathroom door is locked or something he will just poop himself or pee himself. My stepson will be 5 in June. I hope things get better. Just keep praising her and encouraging her. It will get better with time.

It is an attention thing. Maybe some thing has changed in your home that shook her up I don't know. If not it may just be her being afraid that being a big girl will mean letting go of mommy. You may want to let her know that nothing will take you away from her. Give her the praise but not over the top. Help her find other "big girl" things that she likes too. Being a big girl includes going on your own and she will get back on track. Good luck my friend.

Kids are real precious in this world and they are also very sensitive in this stage..and their life depends on how you take care of them at this stage.You have taken good steps on praising their efforts..Its not about toilet training, its regarding their behaviour, it all depends on how parents handle.Attention at this stage is what parents job and if you take my suggestion please do it yourself because I dont recommend any baby sitter at this stage..

My son had the same problem. He was toilet trained and staying dry, the all of a sudden he started peeing on himself again. It happened mostly at school so I thought it might be the environment he is in, not having the freedom to get up and go at school, like he can get up and go to the bathroom when he is at home. But after while, he started to pee on himself at home also. I took my son to the Doctor and they did some tests on him, but they could not find anything physically wrong with him. However, my son was diagnosed with Autism disability and this is a mental disability. Sometimes people with Autism disability regress and take a step backwards. For example, some kids talk and then they stop talking. Or as in my case, sometimes kids can learn a skill, such as toilet training and then stop and go backwards and start peeing on themselves again. How many doctors have you taken your daughter to? Maybe you should try another doctor and get a second opinion.
