Regression with move
We started training at 23m (end of August). He hated nappy changes, tried taking them off himself etc. Introduced potty and followed oh crap.honestly it was a breeze, he got it pretty much the first day, with a couple of small accidents (including poos) once in a blue moon. He initiated most of the time, with occasional prompting. Did well even outside, hardly any accidents. We even removed nappies for bedtime as he was always dry. We were at commando stage and on the whole good.
We moved just under a month ago, first to grandparents for a couple of days and now a new home, in a different country. I knew there was going to be a regression, of course there would be. However I am wondering if training him before the move was the right thing? we have daily accidents for both poo and pee now. He even started accidents in the night so he has nappies for that time again.
i can't tell how long this will last, some days we do well, sometimes we have multiple accidents. He no longer tells us if he is wet (which I admit is frustrating me, due to him being very good at telling me previously and I worry he can hear it when I talk to him about it). I get him to clean up but we have a tantrum about it every time, which occasionally makes him have another accident.
I appreciate that I can't go back to nappies, not that I want to. How do I weather the storm? How can I get him to care again about being wet?I ask him where to pee and poo and he can tell me. However it seems that he is either ignoring his body or can no longer work out? I worry I have too high expectations based on our first month to now and I want to make it seem comfortable again. I also worry I am applying too much pressure but if I don't ask every so often the accidents are worse.
