Asher has had a few potty accidents recently, even after being asked to go and while we were actively engaged with him. He doesn’t show clear signals beforehand, though he understands where pee and poop go. I recently had surgery, so my mom has been his primary caregiver, which is a big change. He’s also told her afterward that he didn’t like having accidents and has helped clean up.
We’re working on consistency (having him fully empty his bladder and sit for a few minutes), but he still isn’t telling us before he needs to go. I’m looking for advice on how to help him start communicating that—and how to keep my mom aligned in supporting this. Thank you!
Answer:
Are you still rewarding potty trips? What is the reward and on a scale of 1 to 10 how valuable is it?
It would be normal in a situation like this that it might throw him off track. In situations like this, I go back to taking data, taking him a set intervals and see how fast we can get to dry days again. Give yourself and him grace... let me know the answers to my questions.
Thanks!
