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.

chris51:
The girl feels the baby has taken her place and she is protesting in her own way. It is normal

Some even bite or hit the new baby.

My advice is that you make her feel very important. Get her involved in the care of the baby by sending her to bring baby powder etc.

Occasionally, make her realise the baby belongs to her. Let her sit on a chair and put the baby on her lap while you assist. It will make her feel important.

Good luck.

Use the rod

Yes, the new baby could be the reason why. Have patience. Don’t scold her. Ask her if she needs to pee every hour.

Maybe she needs more of your attention again and reassurance that she is loved. I know it’s hard with a new baby but it probably is even harder for her. She needs time, support and patience to be able to adjust and find her place in the new setting.

One way of facilitating the process for her is to involve her. For example, when you guys change the baby‘s diaper or she can cuddle with one of you and the baby next to you sleeping. Explain to her what the baby needs and why and that she was like this too. Tell her that she is the big sis now and be proud of her when she assists you guys. Make it a positive experience for her.

All the best!

The way and manner in which you tell lies with reckless abandon will shock even the devil himself. Hian?

You remembered your first traumatic experience that happened when you were 3 and half years old? Say that to the braindead subhumans in your lineage. It's a big fat lie!

Dear OP, please don't listen to this lunat1c.

That your child needs some serious flogging because it's obvious that she has become too addicted to cartoons.

What nonsense psychological issue could a 3 year old be going through? Mtchew!

Kobojunkie:
Exactly ! There could be so many medical or psychological reasons to this.

Op, take the kid to see a doctor as soon as you possibly can. My first traumatic experience in life happened when I was just 3.5 years of age and that was the day before my kid brother was born. My life was devastated by that one experience and it wasn't until some time ago that those scars were finally resolved for me. The worst you can do is attempt to trivialize this or pretend it is of phantoms.

Confirmer:
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.

Ignorance mixed with arrogance is the greatest disease on earth.
This because it causes the mind to become closed and hard. No knowledge or experience except what the patient knows is considered or acceptable.
Stop and do something about this disease before it would impact you negatively.

Unfortunately, many of the responses before you lack understanding of parenting.

lawzolk:
Pls spank her anytime she does that and don't stop till she stops. Other less severe method is to reduce the level at which she watches d cartoon drastically. But trust me, the best is spanking.

I went thru a lot of comments and I felt so worried about dis generation of parents we have now. Why are people trying so hard to control nature or being too westernized. Parents nowadays are just too soft. Little spanking once in a while can't harm them not even mentally. We all went through worse and over 90 percent of us came out fine. Life is tough, death is inevitable, which shows that even God is not soft on us. So wat are we trying to control. We can only apply caution in dealing with them and don't act like some beastly African parents. I also have a 3 years old girl who does exactly d same but has stopped after I spanked her a few times.

FayaBall:
She wants to be the baby of the house once again.

She feels abandoned and that her baby brother has taken up all the attention.

Teach her that she is not a baby but a big sister and let her participate in taking care of her little brother who can not help himself but she can.

Sometimes you may need to be stern with her but in all, instill in her the desire to be a big girl and not a baby.

These days mama no dey do omuigo. So couples are on their own.

And clearly, girls no longer learn home training only learning "how to catch a man who and control him to to buy you a benz and get him to marry you ". That is what they are learning

ravensckar:
You sound more like KOBOJUNKIE yourself!

Exuding conscientious stupid1ty mixed with crass ignorance. It's even more pertubing that you could type a whole lot of unintelligible epistle just to sound smart.

Firstly, I stand by what I said earlier. It's almost impossible for a 3 year old to remember such traumatic experience when he/she grows up.

"According to most scientists, memories from infancy and early childhood, under the age of two or three, are unlikely to be remembered..."

Now, to the crux of the matter. I'm 100% sure that you're not a parent yet, hence the reason you could f00lishly think that the presence of a newborn could cause the older sibling to start p00ing or wetting himself/herself. It is preposterous, absurd and not in accordance with common sense.

Yes, older siblings sometimes tend to show reactions when their mum delivers a newborn. Some become overly afraid of the newborn, some tend to become shy, some become unsure of their parents love for them, some get jealous and sometimes beat the newborn. But to react to the extent of p00ing on himself, that's definitely overboard.

It's the CARTON and nothing else!
