My 4 year old is all of a sudden having accidents

I need help. I finally got my 4 year potty trained in the end of January. She was doing great and she would start to poo in her underwear and then run to the potty but she spent a weekend with my aunt and all the sudden she is pooping in in her underwear. How can I fix this

Does your aunt treat her like a baby? Perhaps she’s regressing

My son was potty trained for almost a year(4) , started preschool and was constantly having accidents again because he said they didn’t take him in time or they wouldn’t let him go he’s finally stopped having accidents. He’s now (5) gonna be (6) in October. My (6) girl will also occasionally have accidents at school as well from not making it in time

It happens, keep training and encouraging she will eventually get there.

Mine only ever did this when with my IL. I think it was a fear of asking or not knowing where the toilet was. Maybe keep an eye on diet too as she should know in advance rather than needing to run to a potty.

It could be many reasons - from simple as your Auntie treats her like baby, or could’ve not felt comfortable to poo for aunt - all the way to - maybe something bad happened over there. Talk with your baby - ask her why?
