Help Me!!  Kalyn is manifesting her frustration/uncertainty at our moving situation by wetting herself.  Multiple times a day.  I knew this could happen but I was really hoping that it wouldn't.  I am at my wits end with her.  At this point I am so frustrated (it has been going on for almost 2 weeks) I don't know what to do. 

I put her in one of Luke's diapers today, and have started treating her like I treat Keali.  She doesn't like it.  Maybe that will do the trick.  I just put her down for a nap in Keali's crib and she isn't too happy with me.  Any suggestions?  Anything?

The one thinkg I've learned from Kayli is that punishment only makes it worse--even though it seems like the logical thing to me. So, when we have set backs, I go back to the beginning with regular rewards and encouragement. And I try to set her up to succeed--stay home for a few days, remind her, and give lots and lots of praise. And even though it's the opposite of what I want to do, I don't get mad or upset. At least not where she can see me. Usually after a couple days like this, we get back to where we were.
But I know every child is different, so this is just my two cents. I'm so sorry! Good luck!
