What This Log Is For
Track Timing
Record exactly when accidents happen. You'll quickly see patterns — after meals, during play, first thing in the morning.
Note Circumstances
Where was your child? What were they doing? Who was watching them? Context reveals triggers you might otherwise miss.
Spot Patterns
After a few days of logging, patterns emerge. Maybe accidents spike when distracted, or always happen in a specific room.
How to Fill It
What to Record
- ✓ Time: Exact time the accident was discovered
- ✓ Location: Where in the house/daycare it happened
- ✓ Before: What your child was doing immediately before
- ✓ Type: Pee, poop, or both
- ✓ Notes: Mood, last potty time, who was watching
What to Do With the Patterns
Pattern: During Play
If accidents happen when deeply focused on an activity, they're ignoring body signals.
Pattern: After Meals
Eating triggers the gastrocolic reflex — the urge to go. If accidents follow meals, the timing is predictable.
Pattern: Sudden Increase
If accidents spike after a period of success, this may be regression. Common triggers: new sibling, stress, illness.
Common Questions
How many days should I track?
Track for at least 5-7 days to see meaningful patterns. If accidents are very frequent (3+ per day), you may see patterns within 3 days.
Should I share this with daycare?
Yes! Sharing your log helps them understand your child's patterns. Ask them to fill in accidents that happen at daycare so you get the complete picture.
