Does it reflect poorly upon me when every time I take Kyra for a play date to one particular friend's house she not only pee's but poops in her pants too? And not even at the same time.
She poops, I clean her up and inform her she has done bad and to tell Mommy when she has to go potty and 20 minutes later she comes walking past with wet pants and still says nothing- as if she doesn't even notice!
Really, every single time we step through their front door within 15 minutes time. Without fail. Even after I take her to the potty first thing, go over how we ask to use the restroom and I continue to ask her every 10 minutes if she has to go potty.
Or maybe this is Kyra's way of telling me that maybe we should get a house big enough for Kyra to have an entire playroom so things won't be quite so overwhelming that she forgets?
What's your take?
This is going to sound hardline, but maybe the next time she has a play-date accident, you should pack her up and take her home. I know it will be frustrating for you to miss the social interaction, but if Kyra realizes that accidents mean no more toys, maybe she'll work harder to avoid them. You don't have to get angry or anything. Just take her home. Maybe she thinks that the rules which govern home don't apply in this situation. I seriously doubt that her distraction with toys is strong enough to overcome all your training.
ReplyDeleteI'm the wrong person to ask. My kids aren't even allowed to wear underwear to preschool anymore because their teachers asked me to send them in pullups.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I don't know what to tell you here. I'm guessing that it's just because it is a new environment with alot of distractions, and she is just too darn busy to take the time to go to the potty. I know that my niece even had an accident last time they visited us, and she was 4! And she hadn't had an accident in over a year.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Aeralyn pee peed in the potty today! We aren't really potty training her, but I put her on the potty right before she got in the tub, and she peed!
