[quote=Anonymous]My kid had a short regression at age 4 when going to preschool. She had frequent accidents at home but not at school. She was just very busy at school and forgetting to go to the bathroom, so getting home really having to pee but she’d been holding it in so long that she’d forgotten she was and would tell me she didn’t need to go.

We asked the teachers to *make sure* she used the potty after lunch every day, no matter what. We also made sure she went in the morning before she left the house (even if she’d gone when she woke up, we’d have her go again to make sure her bladder was empty). They had to prompt her every day for about a week but after that she’d self-initiate and going to the bathroom at school became part of her routine again. And then she was fine.

Even if he was in this school last year, transitions are hugely disruptive for kids this age when it comes to potty training and between all the travel and then return to school your don probably does not have any set routines around using the bathroom at school. Getting him into the habit of using the potty around the same times every day will solve this problem and keep it from happening again. I was so stressed when my 4 yo started regressing but it turned out to just be a habit issue. Some kids really need to routine.[/quote]
