Hi I have a five year old who wont use the toilet. When two and a half she announced she no longer wanted to use nappies took it off and was pritty much dry and clean day and night for about six months.
After a family holiday she started wetting on a regular basis. She stared school EYU last year when she was just four and a week old (due to her birthday and cut off dates) and during her time there this problem has got worse, o includ soiling herself aswell. I thought that when the other children started teasing her about it she would get the idea and stop i but its not happend. Now in year 1 at school and she is still doing it, with no response or even noticing when she has done it.
We have tried postitive and negative reinforcement, we have tried a number of reward charts, time outs and much much more. All work for a few weeks and then its like she gets bored with it and reverts back. I am at my witts end and have decided to put her back in pull ups, am i right in doing this??
I have so much washing and without using pull ups we are making more than i can wash in a week. When we ask her to go to the toilet she gets angry but does no seem to care if wet or dry.
I just don't know what I need to do now, she seems not to be bothered about being in pull ups, although we have said if her pull up is dryish in a day then she can wear knickers the next day (his worked today and is now wearing some but not sure how long this will last).
Please help me does any one no what is going on or had the same problem?? I don't know what els i can do she is back to school in two days after the holidays and i don't no if i should send her in pull ups or risk the wet uniform again??
