UPDATE to 3-day PT method not working for DD

Cgilb · July 2012

I posted yesterday about having trouble with my daughter catching on to PT and all the frustrations that come along with it. I wanted to update the ladies who were so nice as to offer their advice and support.

Yesterday, after I picked up DD from school I decided I would just lay off and not even bother her with reminders. I had been reminding her all the time, so I knew the issue wasn't just that she would forget to go. Normally, in any given afternoon she will have between 7-10 accidents. Yesterday, she had 1. She went to the potty just about every single time she needed to go. All on her own. I kept my mouth shut and just let her do her thing. In addition, she stayed dry ALL NIGHT! I put her little potty next to her bed and went in around 3:30AM and helped her on it, she went potty and went right back to bed. This morning she woke up dry.

This was just one day, we'll see how today goes, but I must admit that yesterday made me more hopeful that she IS ready and really doesn't like her Mommy nagging and reminding her all the time about what she needs to do. Only time will tell, but I wanted to update you all because I really do appreciate everyone's advice and I'm so grateful for this community of great mothers!
