| Reassure your child, give her comfort. Talk to her about the move, and give her attention, both you and your spouse, to reinforce her security from the love of her parents. Talk up her self-esteem. Ask her gently, discuss with her, if she wants to go to pull-ups, or even nappies - she may well be upset over these accidents. If it's just imposed, you may find you're adding another trauma, that'll have repercussions further down the line. | |

I agree with NotAllThere. My little one (just turned 4) was always regressing with her potty training whenever we travelled, which we do quite often. It is frustrating and upsetting for everyone.
I also agree it is worth checking it is nothing medical but experience has taught me that stress, uncertainty and the unfamiliar are major triggers for the accidents.
Try and make sure whenever you talk about the move it is with excitement and anticipation (I can imagine lots of the discussions between you and your partner are dealing with logisitics and potential issues so the kids will take this onboard). Make sure the kids start feeling the move is a really fun and exciting thing rather than a trauma to be endured. Easier said than done, I know!
Also, perhaps pull-ups as PegA suggested could be a good interim solution but only you know how your child would react to this step.
Good luck.
