hello there
I have a 4 1/2 year old dd and a 20 month old ds.
My oldest has been toilet trained for ages, but lately has been having accidents and pooing in her pants. I know she hates to leave the activity she is involved in and take time out to go to the toilet. She is also becoming afraid of the dark, and understandably doesn't want to go upstairs alone without lights on. It's not always possible to go up as a family, so sometimes I scoot up and p ut on all the lights, make sure she is settled and scoot down again.
However, I do also suspect that it is a cry for attention, as she seems to need to go to the toilet at meal times (when I have to leave toddler in high chair to accompany her), or when I'm putting him down and she is playing in her room. Although this morning was just an unrelated accident.
Any ideas????
