Guest guest Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 hi everyone. looking for insight into our most recent phase of poop accidents. lilah has either been forgetting to ask us for a diaper or not realizing that she is pooping - i am not sure which. i mean, i am almost positive that she KNOWS she is going, but for whatever reason, she isn't asking for a diaper. we have been super careful about not pressuring her to poop on the potty, but i think that she is still feeling like that is what she should be doing, and is not asking for a diaper because of that. i have told her that it is okay to ask for a diaper and okay for her to go in a diaper - i have even told her that accidents happen and that is okay, too - i don't have a problem with it at all - but at school they toss her undies if she has an accident and that always bums her out - even though i told her i will get more! anyway, today on the drive to " camp " (it is really preschool with water play), i told her it was okay to ask for the diaper and that suzie (her teacher) was okay with it and not to be afraid. then she told me that she is going to be a grown-up soon so i asked her what that means, and she said that when she is a grown-up she is going to poop on the potty. my heart broke. i mean, i know she is stressed about this. but trying to not focus on it at all! i just want her to poop, that's all - i could care less where! (and she has been pretty regular lately, too.) anyway, the point is, that at least every other day we have a poop accident in our panties and i am just not sure how the best way to deal with her on it is and am also a little worried that she doesn't realize she has to go - so looking for some insight into this. oh - lilah is 3 1/2 in case some of you don't know. thought? insight? wisdom???? (i am also worried that she somehow realizes that we are expecting another child - i just have a little belly - am only 12 weeks, and we dont' want to tell her until we know the gender of the baby - so another few weeks. i am concerned that she may be acting out - or not wanting to " grow up " yet because of it. am sure there will be regression in january when we have the new one, though....) anyway, thank you guys so much for your thoughts - i really appreciate it! dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
