My daughter is a little over 2 years old and a month or so ago, she FINALLY caught on to going potty. I even had her pulling her underpants down by herself. It was great! Well, 2 weeks ago she started wetting herself again and refusing to go on the potty……what happened??? How can I get her to go on the potty again?
Thanks!

It’s normal for them to relapse…just keep on her.

Try bribery it seems to work well with most kids.

cause to the bathroom requires too much work just wetting your self is great and so much easier. i mean little kids and old people have it the best they can just go when ever they feel like going and no one judges them. and i think your little girl is smart and she realizes this great fact and she is exploiting it for all its worth

Were you pushing her too hard to become toilet-trained? Did she develop a fear of the toilet? Is anything significant happening in your family right now – e.g. new school, sickness, new baby, marital problems – these all can affect your child and her willingness to do new things.
My guess is something happened and that insisting would be detrimental now. Wait until she’s ready, follow her lead, and it will be fine.

it’s hard to fathom a young child’s mind. it is possible that something scared her one time when she was on the toilet and now every time that she has to go potty she associates that with the potty. it is also not uncommon for a child to start toilet training and change their mind. it can also happen with learning to walk. be patient. after she has had some thing to eat or drink you might try placing her on the potting and see what happens. also if you don’t have them get some books that are for you to read to her about toilet training. there are some real good ones out there. if she was on a big potty you might try getting her a small potty just for her and see if that makes a difference.
