[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what do they like doing most?  Least?  In what context are they peeing on the floor?  When you’re trying to go out?  When they don’t want to stop playing?  How often does it happen.

My advice for the situation depends a bit on kid interests and personality and details; I don’t think there’s a silver bullet that will work with every child/situation.[/quote]

What happened in this situation is that I closed the door so I could change my tampon alone and my child, who genuinely gets a LOT of one on one time, was mildly annoyed and peed on the floor so they could cackle at their own cleverness.

That sounds extremely irritating.  I would probably ensure that the child did not get anything fun to do all afternoon or put them back in diapers for the day and not let them play with certain things because they’re clearly either sick or in a destructive mood and can’t be trusted.  Depends on what makes them tick.  (My oldest is VERY into being a “big kid” so curbing her independence by making her hold my hand/stay in sight/etc works wonders.  My younger likes tons of attention so he would get “can’t play with you gotta clean up the big mess you made” or “no I’m not carrying you down the stairs; you might pee on me!”)  I would also make sure to congratulate them on peeing in the potty properly for the rest of the day too.

I doubt you’re doing anything wrong cosmically; sometime kids this age are just adorable little demons.[/quote]
