[quote=Anonymous]My kid who had a lot of accidents while training has gone on to be a kid who has more accidents than usual as a preschooler/kindergartener. She has ADHD and it is absolutely a function of inattentiveness and hyper focus. And after going through this with her, I've realized I also did this as a kid -- had more accidents than other kids because I had trouble paying attention to the signals or would get so engrossed in what I was doing that I ignored the signals.

So I've concluded some people are just like this and it might take longer to train. To be clear, this child is now potty trained (she's 6) and she has an accident maybe every three months. And generally I can point to a change in schedule or an external stressor that likely contributed (like a trying day at school, recent travel, or a bad night's sleep). ADHD can be made worse by those kinds of things so it makes sense. But it's not a big a deal and at this point she can clean it up herself and might just ask for a little help.[/quote]
