[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just about to make a post in the toddler/preschooler forum because my 3 YO DD is having a similar issue. She rarely has accidents at school (happens maybe once every couple of months), but she often does not make it to the bathroom in time when she’s at home. It’s like she doesn’t realize she needs to pee until it’s the last possible minute, and then she goes a little bit in her underwear before she makes it to the bathroom and finishes there. She isn’t making a big mess - her pants often don’t get wet - but it is so frustrating to go through 5+ pairs of underwear in a day. While we remind her to go at regular intervals, she really resists and claims she doesn’t have to go until it’s too late.

What I’m taking away from this thread is that we should really insist that she go every 1-2 hours even if it results in a major power struggle (which it often does). If anyone has additional tips that might work well for a younger child having this issue, I’m all ears. I don’t want to put her in Pull Ups during the day since I’m worried that will cause her to regress with her potty training, which is probably not a concern with an older child.[/quote]
