Frequent accidents after toilet training

Hi all! My son has been toilet trained for about 8 months now (he's still in a nappy overnight). It all happened pretty naturally and smoothly at the time. Lately, he's been having frequent wee accidents in his pants, and when we speak about it, he says he forgot to go to the toilet. We are careful not to shame or get obviously frustrated, I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to manage this. Thanks folks :)

Is he weeing more than usual? X

Hi Ruth, he doesn't seem to be. Just not weeing in the right place when he does! We do remind him to go whenever we're with him but can't do this every day of course.x

It’s normal to have a bit of regression! Might just be that he doesn’t want to miss out on what he’s doing or he’s too busy and forgets! Cos maxi is new to the potty training game we make him go before we get in the car or before we transition to the next activity, might be worth trying that again for a while! Before we have lunch we’re going to the toilet, before we play dinosaurs let’s go for a wee! Etc

We have just been through this, it lasted about 2weeks. We just explained after accidents, that she can't leave it too late, and to remember to go. The more we reminded her the more she refused to go, so we stopped doing that I think she just got distracted or thought she would be missing out, so we explained that whatever she is doing will be waiting for her after the toilet.
