: My son of 3.5 years old has been wearing underwear for at least 9 months and has been going to the bathroom on his own. However, in the last month, he has been wetting himself during the day. So, we went back to making him go every half an hour and at times he still wets himself.
: Why has he resorted to peeing in his pants when he hasn't done that in months.


Toddlers at this age tend to want to hold it for longer periods of time and then cannot control themselves just like some adults do too. I think you should remind about using the toilet after driking liquids and if he wets his underpants anyway, then not change him right away. He will soon decide he does not like the feeling of having wet underwear and decide it is not worth holding it and will stop. My 3-year-old would not completely wet her pants but there was a month where she would hold it to the point where there was a spot on her panties. She then did not like the feeling of being wet and now goes right when she feels the urge.

Good luck.
