[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 753312, member: 1233"] I like the idea of a behavioral assessment and professional help for this. I do wish they made undies with characters on them for adults. I used the idea of "not peeing/pooping on Barney" to help my kids have incentive to use the potty. It was highly effective. Does she like girly things? Maybe getting some fancy underwear for her and letting her earn them by keeping herself clean/dry would help. If she is in diapers at any point in the day, she cannot have the fancy/lacy/colorful/whatever underwear, but if she stays clean/dry, she gets to wear them as long as she does not soil them. I also would be taking her to the restroom every 2 hours or so and insisting she try to use it each time. If she is going to soil/wet her pants, she is going to have to have help in the restroom and she has to go each time the timer goes off. Set the timer for however long. WHen it goes off, she has to stop whatever she is doing and go to the potty. If she uses the toilet, she gets a small reward and a chance for her fancy new undies. If she uses her pants instead of the toilet, she has to clean herself up (even if she is in diapers - she has to deal with them and cleaning herself) and do her laundry BEFORE she can go back to her friends. If her friends are watching a movie or playing a game, she misses turns or part of the movie and everyone else gets to go ahead but she does not. This gives her positive rewards for using the toilet, helps train her body to use it every so many hours (2 is a suggestion), and there are negative consequences for not using the toilet. Of course, it is all the timer's fault that she has to stop everything and go deal with this. And of course she does not have to sit in her soiled clothing until the timer. She has to stop right then and go clean up because she CHOSE to soil herself. I am sorry that you have to deal with this. I know it isn't fun and must be infuriating and frustrating. [/QUOTE]
