I just don't get this TT thing!! My DD has been struggling with TT for almost 2 years now!!

She's been pretty good over the past 6 months or so, but I still would say she's only about 90% 'trained'. The past 4 mths or so she has decided that she wants knickers at bedtime & in comparison with days, that's been easy!! She's only had maybe 2 accidents (hope I'm not jinxing myself now!!). Yet she still will have 2 or 3 days per week where she will have at least one 'accident' during the daytime.

I can't even say that she's been too busy to remember to go as many a time I've asked her & she's said no and then, not more than 5 minutes later, done a puddle on the floor.

Is there anyone else out there with a night-trained, not day-trained child???

have you tried a reward chart/system?

Or could you tell her to just go and sit on the toilet?

I've just started saying to my DD, "go and sit on a toilet and do a poo " when it's about the time she normally does one. It's amazing how she complies.

I used to moan to my sister how DD would wait until I had a full trolley before saying she had to go to the toilet, and my sister said, "just put her on the toilet before you go into the shops." Previously I would ask, and obviously DD would say she didn't need to go.
