DD is 3.5.

10 months ago we moved from California to Maryland, away from my family, because DH is in the military and got stationed over here. DD is very close to my mom and sisters. The move has been hard on her, she misses them and we try to visit eachother whenever we can. One of my sisters was here for a month, another was here for one week, and DD and I went to California for a month as well, all since the move.

When we moved here, DD stopped pooping all together. We had to give her enemas on a weekly basis, went to a specialists, etc. and finally got it figured out. The specialists told us she stated holding it because of the stress, and it was something she could control. We got it all figured out and she was pooping regularly for the last 3 months.

Fast forward to now. I had a baby a month ago, so that might be playing a part in this as well. But, DD has started to randomly pee her pants (she's been peeing on the potty, accident free for over a year). At first she wouldn't talk to me about it, but yesterday she did. When I asked her why she did it, she said "Cause I want Kendra and grandma, I miss them". That broke my heart. I don't know how else to comfort her besides telling her we'll see them soon. She asks daily to see them.

As much as I feel bad for her, she can't be having accidents all the time just because she misses them. How would you deal with this situation?

Maybe let her call them daily so she can still talk to them? My son regressed when I had my daughter, it takes some time, but she'll be back on track again.

Quoting Uh-Nis-Uh [EBF]:" Maybe let her call them daily so she can still talk to them? My son regressed when I had my daughter, it takes some time, but she'll be back on track again. "

She usually talks to one of them, daily (I have 3 sisters and then my mom) and we skype with at least one of them weekly, if not more than one. My mom sends her cards in the mail regularly (she loves cards), etc. I know she's been having a hard time being so far from them, but she seems to want them even more since the new baby came.

Have them make videos for her! Them reading books, doing puppet shows w stuffed animals, making funny faces to her, etc. It helped kieran a lot while Tommy was deployed!
