   It is common regression and until he is about 5 years old he will probably continue to have moments where he just doesn’t care where he goes. Lots and lots of rewards when he goes potty, lots of encouragement. No attention or take away something when he makes the choice not to go but make sure you can tell the difference between just not going and not being able to make it. It is common for children that age to get into playing and have an accident.

   persistancy is the key. put him back in pull ups and every time he eats and drinks ask him often if he has to potty. reward him when he does (like giving him a few m&ms or candy or a treat of some sort). positive reinforcement is best. dont punish him if he forgets or has an accident. they happen. Just tell him to do better next time and keep persistant. honestly, it is their age and you just have to go with the flow. I know it’s tough, but toddlers all go at their own speed and you have to be there to help every step of the way! Good luck!!!

   be a parent and punish him when he goes where he is not supposed to! oh and try to reward him for doing the right thing, its a brine but it works! we let my nephew put a sticker on a poster board everytime he used the toilet and we too one off when he didn’t. after so many we would give him a candy, like a dumdum, eventually he used the bathroom every time and then we gradually stopped giving him the dumdums.

   My little girl is two and I just got her FULLY potty trained, pooping and peeing and I’m so happy! So I know all about this situation. What we did is praised her like crazy every time she went. I mean you got to go all out with it! I mean me and my hubby where jumping up and down like we won the lottery and screaming "!!!YAY!!!!" Just make it like its the greatest thing in the world when he does go! And give him a treat, like a piece of sugar free candy. But my little girl had started slacking up on potting one time and we realized it was b/c we started slacking up on the praises. Now she does EVERYTHING on her own. Good Luck I really hopes this helps. And most people on here are saying "don’t scold him when he uses it in his pants" I disagree when my girl did it on herself I acted as if I was sad and said "NO, mommy is so sad that you did that" and I acted like I didn’t want to play with the a wet little girl! So she thought "when I pee in my pants mommy is sad and want play with me and did the opposite when she went" But really he’ll just start going when HE wants to, he is going in the right direction though.

   Definately give him praises for going in the toilet. I wouldn’t punish him so much as just explain to him he shouldn’t go potty anywhere but the toilet. Also, when he does pee his pants ask him why he did it. Sometimes they do just forget or can’t make it. . .don’t jump to conclusions. Just stick with potty training and he’ll make it thru.

   Is he competing with a pet…such as a dog? Perhaps getting a cat and litter box would encourage him…showing that we should "go" where we should. He could be regressing for other reasons…pre-school stress, perhaps? or a new sibling? or just seeking negative attention. Sometimes negative attention is sought when not quite enough positive attention is available…has someone started work that he used to spend time with? Has there been a death in the family or loss of a babysitter that he liked and perhaps you didn’t? At three years it is difficult to express ourselves in concepts that we actually don’t understand yet. Try to be patient with him…scolding may not be effective on this particular issue. Loud voices could trigger an emergency reflex that actually ‘makes us go’…so speak quietly to him and explain it to him that it makes you unhappy when he doesn’t go potty (has he had a bad experience in a public restroom at school or at home?) where he should…and it makes him feel uncomfortable, too. Tell him that it costs money that you could use for toys … just to wash the clothes once they are soiled. [This is a complex comprehension; however, if you integrate the -- 'more toys for you and less laundry for me' -- angle...he could actually see an incentive to stop soiling himself.]

   Three year olds listen much better than they speak…so speak softly and remember to remind him to go to the potty about 20 minutes after each meal. It is the time at which his body will naturally urge him; and, your reminder will help him regain control of his bowel and urinary systems. Also, consider no television, games, toys, etc… until a good potty…books are excluded because they may find it relaxing to look at a book while on the potty…it helps them to not feel impatient during the process.
