My 3 year old is potty trained at school but still has accidents at home?
Answer:
It might be that during daycare she's following the lead of other kids. Or she may be more comfortable and relaxed at home so it comes out before she realizes it.
Mine goes to the potty more when she's bored...I think she uses the bathroom as an excuse to get out of the room.
the kid is only 3 years old
still a long way to go before it is a reasonable human being that will behave sensibly and correctly .
she will get bored with having dirty pants or keep her in nappies ,until her bowel movements cooperate.
My boys did that, too. I tried sticker programs, rewards, you name it, I tried. What did work was, when I finally had had enough, when they had didn't go to the bathroom and went in their pants, they had to clean up the mess. It took one clean up each. They always made it to the bathroom after that.
My daughter (now 5), had accidents alot when she was 3. She was potty trained, but she would either forget, or not want to stop doing whatever it was she was doing. She did this unitl about age 4. You child will just take time.and forcing her is just making her want to avoid doing it. Maybe make a chart and let her put a sticker on it for every day she doesn't have an accident, then after so many days with none, give her a reward!
She is more at ease at home. Just give her time and she will come around. Dont make a big deal out of it.Act like you dont care one way or the other.
I would ask the teacher what their techniques as far as potty training are and try to do the same at home. It also might be different as far as what she is going potty in at school and try to make the bathroom the same as possible so she will fill comfortable and familiar. Ask what words they use and what times they go, they should have a schedule and send her at the same times (if possible) like weekends. You can do the same with naps so things wont be thrown off..
mom and dad are a little more nicer than the daycare adults. they are more reformed and have other kids that are on the potty at scheduled times. try taking him/her to the potty each time you or your husband goes so they may get into the habit of going when its needed
Yes patience is a virtue. I found that my son did this in his own time. He would control himself really well for a few days then go terribly for a few days. Rather than get really cross at him, I told him that it's naughty and he should tell me if he wants to go to the toilet. He eventually got the hang of it.
