Should I put my 3 year old back in diapers?
"Sarah" wrote in message m... have her wear nothing over the diaper, so maybe when people see a child her age in diapers, they'll comment and maybe she will decide she doesn't want to wear diapers anymore. I don't see that as humiliation -- my daughter is months past her third birthday and still in diapers. And since its the summer, she spends a decent amount of time in her diaper with nothing else. People say things every now and again but it probably won't make a difference -- at least it hasn't for us. I guess there are more and more three year olds in diapers these days so it isn't such a sight. It's all in the intent. The OP was hoping others would comment so that her child would feel embarrassed enough to stop wearing diapers. I really doubt it would happen because 1) a child her age is often seen in diapers; 2) most adults would know enough not to try humiliating someone else's child. Maybe she thought other children would comment, but then, those children probably know lots of other children still in diapers. |

"ajpdla" wrote in message ... "Nan" wrote in message ... I would have a problem with anyone saying anything negative to my child about *anything*. Nan That's a whole other issue. Better get used to that one. Life ain't all wine and roses. AJPDLA That attitude is responsible for a whole lot of messed up kids running amok because Mommy and Daddy can't bear for anyone to be mean to their little Precious. |

Friends of ours came up with an interesting suggestion that is food for thought: have her wear nothing over the diaper, so maybe when people see a child her age in diapers, they'll comment and maybe she will decide she doesn't want to wear diapers anymore. Your thoughts? I would do the exact opposite: put her in a dress with NO underpants and give her lots to drink. Let her see and feel what pee feels like so she can learn the signals. (Take her outside to play!) It would help if there is a portable potty around if she wants to use it, but I've found the pants-free method is excellent for helping the kids learn. A diaper is so absorbent that the kid doesn't get the signals. If you MUST diaper her, could you use cloth with rubber pants so she at least can tell she's wet herself? Or how about keeping her in underpants but putting rubber pants over it? My heart goes out to you with your laundry issues: four kids four and under!!! Wendy |

i think she will take a step back if you put her back in diapers.. keep on
working with her for the poop mistakes tell her it's ok but in the potty is better.. put dresses since it is summer time with just her diaper if that is the way you are all going on it !! mine were pottied by age of 2 i guess i can consider myself lucky with potty training !! wendy mom of 4 !! "Jaime" wrote in message om... Thank you all very much for your kind words of advice. After much consideration, we've decided to put Sarah back in diapers for a little while anyway. Friends of ours came up with an interesting suggestion that is food for thought: have her wear nothing over the diaper, so maybe when people see a child her age in diapers, they'll comment and maybe she will decide she doesn't want to wear diapers anymore. Your thoughts? |

I think the OP's child is already potty trained and is regressing. She knows the signals but doesn't want to pay attention to them because of the baby. I say leave her in diapers, if that's what she wants. It won't last forever. |

Wow, you're really lucky! Or you know something I don't! Two of my
four are past 2 and no luck yet, though we thought we had Sarah trained it looks like we didn't. She's back in diapers and seems much happier. Melissa turned 2 three weeks ago and has shown zero interest in potty training whatsoever. Sarah wears those really cute summer dresses all the time. She's adorable! But of course I'm saying that because she's mine!
