Regression in children refers to a return to earlier stages of behavior, especially under stress or when they feel insecure. When a new sibling is born, an older child may exhibit regressive behaviors such as having toilet accidents, even if they have been previously potty trained, as a way to seek attention or due to the emotional impact of the new family dynamics.
