Dear Mums and Legal Guardians,

I am quite concerned about my three-year-old daughter.

Over the past month or two, she has been experiencing episodes of self-initiated urination. She is often refusing to go to the toilet despite showing signs that she needs to do so, such as the 'pee dance'. I try to be firm and encourage her to use the toilet, but sometimes it is difficult to determine when she needs to go.

Yesterday, before attending a friend's birthday party, she had an accident at home. At the party, I consistently reminded her to inform me when she needed the toilet. Despite this, she only told me when it was urgent, and she had an accident on the floor. This was quite embarrassing and distressing, and I felt compelled to leave the party early.

Lately at home, I find that unless I take her to the toilet every hour or two, she is likely to have an accident. To emphasise, she was fully potty trained prior to this recent behaviour, which has only emerged within the last one or two months.

I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how to support her through this behaviour.

Has anyone measured how tall their child is recently? My partner just done it as we needed to measure our washing machine and he stood still for his height as we measured the washing machine. The kid is 3ft3. Im 5ft2. My son wont even reach the teens before being the same height as me

My doctors said in September they’ll refer me and my partner for tests etc however my partner isn’t at the same doctors. Will my doctors till refer my partner?

Since transitioning to single bed from cot in June! She loved her cot but started jumping out! Shes not sleeping! She’s always been like a 14 hour sleeper! Now she’s up, running around causing chaos in the middle of the night! We haven’t had a full night in 3 months! Both exhausted! We will let her come In our bed or on the floor in our rooom if she wants to but just won’t stay asleep all night! We are dying! Also bedtime has creeped up to 8pm/8.15pm as she is a nightmare at bedtime! It’s all so unusual for her and for us! so we are all struggling Any suggestions? Or anyone else going through similar?
