hi christine, Im sorry to hear something went bad in your daughter life no one every wants to hear that about a child. Dont pull your hair out though. It took 6 months to train her originally so dont expect it to happen again in a day or two even though she had done it for ahile and u already know she is capable just give her love ! and she and u will do fine. Im training my son too and it is draining but it will happen. Good luck and be patient for her. Laura

Christine, I agree with Laura. Training doesn't happen overnight. Did you ever see "What about Bob?" It's like that... baby steps to the potty... baby steps to the potty. Even when there's a setback, just remind yourself that it's two steps back for every step forward. You're doing fine... and so is your daughter. She'll be okay, and she'll survive whatever trauma she encountered. We all do, right? Not a month after my daughter started full-time daycare, we were in a car accident. It never occurred to me that might be why she took so long (almost two months) to get used to our goodbyes until just recently (almost a year later). Odd how our brains work sometimes, eh!?!? When it comes to habits (potty training included), just stick with a routine! Toddlers are all about routines... but you know that already. Best of luck... Jamie
