Potty/toilet training

He’s much better with poos I just don’t know what’s happened for him to regress with the whole thing. He was doing so well with it even had a couple dry days and nights with no accidents then all of a sudden it’s gone massively downhill
It’s so hard knowing what to do for the best! I envy people whose children give clear signs that they aren’t ready because I worry that he wasn’t fully ready but then he happily engages. It’s just the initiating it and connecting the feelings that he doesn’t seem to be grasping
Same here in our house. We started right after he turned 2. He was telling us when he needed to go to the bathroom but once there, he would refuse to sit on the toilet or in the potty. Then he wouldn't tell us anything anymore because he knew if he did, he'd be taken to the potty. So we've changed our strategy by putting him in the potty in specific periods (early in the morning, before bed, and eventually during the day). We've tried singing, reading books about potty whole at the potty but nothing seems to work. Now he only tells us once he's done it in his nappy.
Oh my god! This is me! We started mid June and after a few weeks he was going to the potty himself (needing help getting on it quickly enough!) but amazing all the same! And after a week or so- that stopped and still he will only wee if prompted- in fairness he does have quite good bladder control but will just wee himself if it I don’t tell him Because of the above- poos are just hit and miss. Unless I’m watching him like a hawk,he’ll just do it in his pants which really disappoints him. Just not enough to make it click with him! He loves going on the potty but we just can’t crack it fully!
