Re-training After Regression

I'd back off and let him regress back into pull ups if that's what you need to do (day or night or both). Two things are happening right now. First he's stressed from the move and S. you're stressed out and frustrated and he's picking that up and taking that on too, on top of the stress from the move.
I'd just forget the potty training bit for now. I know it sucks because you had him going but when he's ready he'll just start doing it again on his own. It may take a few months, but he will eventually calm down. Right now it's time to relax and adjust to a new house and neighborhood.
Good luck!

"Regression" is symptom of stress in a child and their inability to cope with something. And also because at this age, they do not have the full capacity to cope nor understand and articulate their feelings and thoughts, accurately.

For accidents, I would NOT punish him. He cannot help it.
It will only backfire.

For night time, keep in mind that all night dryness... is biological as well and has to also do with the myelination of the nerves. That he cannot control. And FULL night-time dryness... is not attained until even 7 years old. Biologically. This is per our Pediatrician as well. Normal.

"Accidents" will happen no matter what age. They will not be perfect. My Hubby, even when he was older than 7, would have accidents. My daughter is 7, and she on occasion has accidents as well. Normal.
I just use a waterproof bed pad directly under her, which I got from www.amazon.com I have about 4 of them, and if it gets soiled, I just switch it out, put a new one on the bed, and that's it. My daughter even had a dream once that she WAS on the toilet, until she felt herself wet. Its okay. They are just kids. If my daughter has an accident, its NO biggie. She just changes jammies, I put a new pad under her, she goes back to sleep. It does not make sense to me to scold the child about it... they don't do it on purpose and it happens in their sleep which they are not even doing on purpose. Nor do I wake my kids at night just to pee. I rather them sleep.

My son is 3.5 years old... and only recently has he been ready for pottying. I waited until he was ready... and then he pretty much trained himself. But, he still is not 100% about holding it for long periods so a little pee seeps out.. and he is still wet at naps and bedtime. So he wears a diaper at night and for naps... and when we go out, and for long periods. I go according to his cues and bodily ability. I never scold/punish for my kids toileting.

When I was pregnant with my son, and once he was born.. my daughter who was then 4, regressed and started having accidents. NO biggie. We just talked to her, comforted her, did not shame her, we told her we understand...and one day on her own, it was resolved. Naturally. It was just that HER life had "changed" with a baby in the house... and she was adjusting.

He is only 3... and this is normal. Don't pressure or punish for it. They can't tell their bladders what to do... and pressuring will just make a child get hang ups.

Don't quit. Take him every 30 min. like starting over and go with him, reward him or use whatever you do for his good results. You go with him, set a timer and take him and stay with him and don't stop until he's got it down again. It's just some kids don't do well with change and it's hard for them to do what they were doing in a new place. Or when a new baby comes sometimes it's for attention. In his case I'd think it's just the change. Be patient and just start over and go more often like clockwork. He'll do it when he adjusts to the new place and you train him to go often now and go with him. Start with every 30 min. ( or sooner if he goes in his pants that soon ) and then go longer when he starts going again. I'd take him on a time schedule for awhile until he adjusts to the house.

Have you gone to the pediatrician to rule out a bladder infection? Also, I agree w/the others, he is reacting to the stress he is under. Maybe put him in pull-ups for a day & see if he is more relaxed. He might be so ashamed he wets himself that he is creating more stress which is causing him to have more accidents that he is ashamed of....

Please don't put him in timeouts or make him feel bad about this. It's normal behavior - he has just moved - there's a lot new to absorb and getting to the bathroom is not as important as learning what he needs to know about his new environment. Let up on the pressure and it will straighten itself out. Keep up with the hourly reminders and let him know he's still the "sweetest boy in the world" he has always been.

Please......do not punish him!!!!!! That is a no-no-no...
He was potty trained at three years old, day and night, right??? then you moved, so, in my opinion he had to learn at very early age two completely new things for his body: going to the potty during the day AND overnight (which is awesome!), and then he had to go to ANOTHER house ("not his") to do these things totally new for him (without counting on other little things that may have contributed to this change, and sometimes we, moms don't know) For our kids, learning to "feel" when the need to go to the bath or potty, and then make an habit out of it, is something very hard to master, believe me. Your little one has been doing a GREAT job and then when he is trying to do his best again, you are punishing him! So, be PATIENT and let him TRUST you, so he does not have the need to hide his pants because he couldn't hold it (he is so sweet!!!!). KEEP GOING, DO NOT WAIT UNTIL HE ASKS YOU TO GO TO THE POTTY, start over that part again, I mean, take him every one hour and half to the potty and stay with him until he is D.. It is going to take a while, so you may want to sing with him and wait until the song is over, he will pee or poop. You may want to read a little book or talk to him about something he is interesting in (this is going to take 5 minutes or so), that way he will be distracted and he will pee or poop....DO IT every half and hour and then every two hours, (for about a week or two, consistently) sometimes he will say " I don't want to go" or "There is nothing, mommy!"....My little one used to say so. There, you will say" Mommy knows that you have pee in there, I am going to wait for you OK?"
I hope this helps a little!
