Feel like I've failed...
I'm really having a hard time with the lack of progression, and in actuality, regression, of Heike's potty training. She's no longer dry through the night, she refuses to try to go pee in the morning, doesn't care about getting stickers for her potty chart, and has had 4 days in a row of nothing making it to the potty. She will outright say "No", when we ask her if she has to pee, or even just to try on the toilet (although, we did have two good tries today, and then tantrums the rest of the day).
I'm just so frustrated. I feel like I've failed because I think people see my kid and think that I haven't done my job to get her using the toilet and she's 3.5 years old.
DH says that we should just go a few days of not even mentioning the potty -- let her mention it if she's interested -- and start over after a few days. I'm not sure it's a good idea -- I think it might be better to keep trying with the every two hours for about 5 minutes on the potty.
Any advice?
