Try and flog her just one time when she does it and see her reaction if she will stop it. Sometimes kids just deliberately do things like that.

Funny enough, my son who's at the same age experienced this for a couple of days recently. The difference is we could trace to when it started and what must have triggered it. He attended a birthday party and was seriously frightened by one of those gorilla props. He struggled to sleep that night as he kept saying he was scared. The next day we noticed the defication and urination without notice. This happened for days.
What did we do? We kept assuring him that he had not reason to fear. We kept speaking God's word over him and rebuking fear. In less than a week he was back to normal.
Something triggered your daughters. The work is finding what did

My 3 year old daughter, she would be 4 years old in Feb, is sharp and very bright.
It only happened occasionally that she would pee on herself. Usually when engrossed in cartoon.

However, it the last 4 weeks, it has become an everyday occurrence.
She would even poo on herself!

I've talked to her, yet no serious change.
I just had a baby boy few weeks ago. Could this be responsible for the change in my daughter? If yes, how best can it be handled? It's already affecting her in school.

If you're in Lagos, take the girl to the Children Psychiatric Hospital in (shodi, close to FIIRO

ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome etc are treated there very well for kids

But the fact that you remembered the exact age you were at that time shows you are lying
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 See this one trying to be smart by half. I no blame you at all. Ability to think critically is a luxury denied many by virtue of upbringing or something in the water down there. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I never said anything about remembering the age I was at the time. Rather what I recalled was the event. Obviously, one could easily figure out the age by the event that took place. 🤔

1. Give her more attention. This also happened to my second daughter. She's too engrossed with the cartoon.

2. Give her assurance that the new baby belongs to her and how she would loved and cherish the boy, this would boost her confidence more.

3. Reduce the time she spends watching the cartoons.

Firstly, how in the world did you still allow her to watch cartoon, you don't need to flog her, take away those distractions, tell her until she stops, no cartoon.

2. Wake her up 4 times or more to pee, you have to take the initiative or you will wait until she's 15.

3. No food after 6pm, even if she cry, no food, everything must be done before that, no food, no drinks, no TV, no bloody cartoon after 6pm.

4. You have to involve your wife, or husband, It will take both of you, if you are not in agreement, don't bother, if you say no food and the other gave her food after 6pm, it won't work.

Before you begin to expose your children to different hands, there's nothing demonic or spiritual about it.

Why would the birth of a new younger sibling traumatise a child? huh
it may be many other things and not the brother at all. That is why if all the mother could think of is the baby, then I feel she might as well get doctors involved ASAP . It could even be something she encounters in those cartoons she spends her time watching or even her body. I can't really say myself.

My trauma was not my brother or my siblings but born of believing I was being abandoned/rejected the day my parents left me in the care of some neighbors in the village so they could go have my brother at the hospital. The plan was originally to leave me and my sister there but she cried a lot and ended up going with them. I was a quiet child so they took it mean that I was fine with being left there. Not knowing what was taking place on the inside of me. 😩😩😩😩😩

She is too engrossed in the cartoon. Reduce the time spent on cartoon and at intervals make sure she visit the toilet to pee under your supervision.

Actually there are people out there who remembers their childhood from 2yrs upwards. If he said he does I won’t doubt him cause even my brother remembers
well, i remember mine from 3 years, i suspect it was easy because my family moved from one state to another at that period.

There is nothing so strange about what is happening to your daughter. it might just be a way that she is dealing with her still-forming
emotions. My Son started the same thing when he was about the same age. And he stopped within a few weeks.

Like you said (even though it may not make sense to some people here) . it may be related to your newborn, She is processing the reality of the fact that she is no longer the center of attraction. Be patient with her. Trying to have a serious adult conversation with her about it, may be counter productive. If a three year old is peeing is school, it is a only a problem if the school and parents make it so. Let them be kids, at least until 5. God knows what you were doing at 3. All the best.

The attention that has been given to her has been diverted to her younger brother,so she's feeling it and not knowing what to do. The solution is simple, before you leave the house in the morning carry her and tell her that you love her and that she should continue to be a good girl .when you are back from work,do the same thing and ask her how her day was and what she eat during the day with smile on your face. Then watch out the positive change that will come out from her.

You've actually answered your own query.

Toddlers usually regress a little bit when a new baby comes in and peeing on themselves is a common trait. It's been theorised that it's a need for attention/ confusion about the changes among other things but they outgrow it pretty quickly.

Just reinforce her potty training and she'll be okay.

I've personally seen it happen at least 3 or 4 times

You said she is smart and you are not aware she is showing signs of juvenile ADHD... She doesn't not even know good from bad at the Theta stage which is normal na you job to condition her back to normal... Don't bring your neglect and foolishness here for us to correct.

My four years old boy, pee and poop, oh mehn! Thank God I'm a father that seeks knowledge online about parenting. No beating (except one time that I felt it was too much that day). Now, he has greatly improved. Constant beating or shouting would have made it worse.
I even went to their school to intimate his teacher about his situation that they should be gentle with him when he was 2

Cartoon lover. She's too addicted to go use the loo when watching toons.

Watch the signs she's going to poo or wee and quickly take her to the toilet. Ask her to go use the loo at random times of the day too.

Also explain to her that she can pause the toons go use the loo and come back to continue watching.

Demonic influence!
What's happening to this kid is one of the consequences of feeding a child with cartoons. Some even start making strange sounds.

I expect agents of darkness to troop in to downplay the spiritual. They trap people with ignorance.
While I respect your view on the matter, I find your post senseless and ignorant.

Sadly, having a discussion on this matter may be impossible as you have already concluded that this is demonic.... spiritual.

Please stop the cartoon...
The evils that catoon does in the life of children will take long time before such evil could be umcovered and well understood...

Please take it off or atleast reduce it to the barest minimum.

She will be fine.
