[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my dd was that age, she was potty trained but would also wait too long to get to the bathroom in time. She had major fomo.

I made cleaning up as uncomfortable as possible for her. I used lukewarm water to wash her (which she hated), she had to wash out her own underwear and wipe up anything on the floor. She hated the entire process but it was a consequence she understood and hated. I think it helped. [/quote]

+1. Remaining completely neutral, I made the clean up procedure take five times longer than a trip to the potty would have been.  It involved a shower, complete undressing and redressing, doing his own laundry (clothes into the washer or soaking bucket for poop accidents) cleaning the floor.  All with absolutely no expression or conversation from me).  Now that was boring!  I framed it as “this is just what we have to do”.

He had TWO accidents after that and I never mentioned his using the potty except as part of the routine when we left the house.  [/quote]
