    Toilet Training
    Hello! I am having an issue with my 3 and 1/2 year old daughter. She was completely potty trainined until she just started preschool in Sept. First she started by occasionally wetting her pants. Next she started wetting everyday. I was so frustrated that I put her in pullups to give her a break and regroup. Now she won't go to the potty at all. This has been going on for the past month and a half. What can I do? I am using the sticker chart and she is excited about it but she has no stickers so far.

    My kids were stubborn too. I used to use pullups but quickly realized that they don't work. A child has to feel wet in order to learn, pullups are just expensive diapers.

    Even after I switched to underwear, my son still refused to stop peeing in his pants. Of course I would change him as soon as he did it, so it wasn't a big deal, he wasn't wet for long. I finally let him sit in his wet pants for a while whenever he did have an accident. It didn't take long after that, he didn't like having to walk around in wet pants.

    In other words, don't be such a good mom, let her walk around in her wet pants for a 1/2 hour to an hour. After a while she'll decide that using the potty is preferable to being wet.

    Good luck.
