What do I do???

[gunnar04]

I have a daughter who will be 3 in a couple of weeks. She has been potty trained since she was 2. In the beginning she did wonderful...now all she does is wet her pants...she is very stubborn and if she doesnt get help in the bathroom she will throw a fit and pee in her pants. When you ask her why she says she is sorry and she wont do it again. She does this about 4 times a day an I am at my wits end about what to do with her...I am ready to put her back in diapers....HELP please...anyone!!!

Help her in the bathroom up to the point of getting her on the toilet and getting her to pee. Then encourage her to be more independent from there, so at least her bladder will be empty and then she can't pee her pants when she doesn't get the help she wants.
Be patient, she's still got plenty of time to develop independence in this area of her life. My son just turned three and he still wants help in the bathroom occasionally, even though he's entirely capable of doing everything on his own now (although getting himself officially cleaned up is another story). If he asks for help, I'm there to help him. I want to make sure he always feels secure about himself and going potty so that he doesn't regress from fear and insecurity. Like I said though, he can do everything himself, I know he can and he usually does, but if he asks me for help, I'm there for him anytime.

i agree with AJH84 MY DAUGHTER IS 4YRS OLD AND HAS ALSO BEEN POTTY TRAINED SINCE SHE WAS 2YRS, BUT STILL INSISTS ON ME HELPING HER GET THE TOILET PAPER, SHE ALSO REFUSES TO WIPE HERSELF WHEN SHE POOPS.BE THANKFUL SHE TOOK TO THE POTTY TRAINING.THIS SOUNDS VERY NORMAL TO ME, JUST HELP HER AND DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT AND IN TIME IT WILL PASS.

This seems very normal. Many children take steps backward after being potty trained. If your daughter is a girly girl try this.......Take her to the store and let her pick out some pretty panties that she really likes. Also pick up a pack of really ugly panties (maybe little boys underwear or plain white panties). On the weekend when you know you have no place to go explain to her that she only gets one pair of pretty panties a day. If she has an accident have her wear a pair of ugly panties.  My aunt did this with my little cousin and she HATED wearing ugly panties. She was potty trained within a couple of days.  If that doesn't seem like something your daughter would care about maybe try this.   Pick up some really cool bandaids like Dora, My little Pony,ect.. Everytime she uses the bathroom on her own reward her with a bandaid. Kids love bandaids!!! Make a big deal out of it too. Let her call daddy, grandpa, grandma, aunts, uncles, whoever is going to help you make a big deal out of her using the potty. If she has an accident no bandaid to show off and no phone calls,lol.  I worked in the toddler class at a daycare for two years and that was the little trick we used there. I'm proud to say, I have potty trained both of my children using this method.......it works.  Good Luck and don't give up!!  :)
