Un pas en arriere.....

Nouvelle maison, vacances, bientot nouvelle ecole (la rentree a l'ecole francaise est le 2 septembre), que de changements pour notre poussin en quelques semaines.

Du coup, nous avons un cas de regression majeure en matiere de proprete. Les "accidents" sont frequents. PG fait toujours tres bien pipi dans les toilettes ou le pot mais pour le reste, c'est plus dur.. 

A lire ma bible (the no cry potty training solution), ce genre de regression est tres frequente (1 petit garcon sur 4 et environ 1 fille sur 5) et souventlie a des changements ou a un stress. La solution: reprendre tout a 0 et s'armer de patience. 

J'essaie de m'inspirer de ces reponses (ce n'est pas moi qui ai pose les questions mais j'aurai pu!):

My son has an accident every day! How can I help him to stop having accidents?

If your child is new to potty training it is perfectly normal to have one or more accidents every single day. Even children who have been trained for six months or more may have an accident once a week. The best solution is to be prepared for these with proper cleaning materials, easy access to a change of clothes, and a relaxed attitude.

One approach that can help reduce the amount of accidents is for you to become familiar with your child’s signals of impending need (such as wiggling or crossing his legs) and take your child to the potty when you suspect he needs to go. Do not ask if he has to go, since he’ll likely say no. Instead, invite him to follow you, “Let’s go potty,” or offer a choice, “Do you want to use your potty or the big toilet?” or simply take him by the hand and lead him to the bathroom, “Come with me, kiddo.”

There’s one last thing for you to consider. Do you give your child more attention (good or bad) when he has an accident than when he has success? Turn the tables. Clean up accidents quickly and without emotion; and at the same time provide lots of praise, hugs and attention for every productive potty visit.

A Suivre !

It seemed like things were going well, but now we're dealing with a complete setback.Why is this, and how do we get back on track?


About 80% of parents report having to deal with toilet training setbacks, which means you are in very good company! There are about a million reasons that children who are having great success with toilet training suddenly go totally backwards. Here are a few of the more common reasons for setbacks:

·        Family or home disruption: such as moving, a new baby, divorce, marriage, vacation, houseguests or the holidays.
·        Boredom with the toilet training routine.
·        Illness or injury of the child or parent that interferes with the usual daily routine for days or weeks.
·        Drastic change in routine; such as starting daycare, a sibling going off to school, an at-home parent going off to work.
·         The child has mastered toiled training, but then has a number of accidents that erode confidence. Perhaps a particularly embarrassing public episode occurs, or the unthinking comments of a family member or stranger made your child feel inadequate. She may have decided it would be safer if she went back to diapers.
·         Your child may have been successful at potty training because you were very successful at reminding him to go at the right times. After a period of success you stopped reminding him, and so accidents begin to happen.


Setbacks are always temporary; otherwise we’d see second graders wearing diapers. So when a setback occurs with your child, simply set yourself back, right along with your child and repeat the actions that were successful for you in the past. For example, if her potty poster was a hit, make a new one. If she was doing perfectly on her potty chair, but a setback occurred soon after the switch to the big toilet, go back to using the little potty. If she responded to two-hour potty reminders begin setting a timer to remind her to visit the bathroom.

Tuck your own injured pride away, since this has nothing to do with your job as a teacher nor does it mean your child has failed Potty Training 101. It just means your child is normal. Be patient, be supportive and soon your little one will be back to potty success.

Du coup, nous faisons des stations Potty avec activites (Merci a l'inventeur des gommettes et autres autocollants..). Et nous croisons les doigts chaque jour. Samedi a ete un jour sans accident, Dimanche a eu un petit ( au debut de la sieste que PG fait sans couche). On verra aujourd'hui... Je compte sur la comprehension du personnel du Lycee Francais et sur leur aide et soutien si la semaine prochaine ne montre pas d'amelioration. J'espere que les visites regulieres et l'emulation de voir ses nouveaux camarades aidera.
