Potty training
Show your support
My son is exactly the same the only advice I can give is work with them not against them. When you see him showing signs of needing a wee ask him if he wants the toilet if he says no just say okay you let mummy or daddy when you do because you don’t want an accident. I’ve found that gives him a sense of independence like he has control over it. Also reward with a small sweet, toy, sticker or drink each time he goes on his own or lets someone know x
I found placing him on the potty when he showed signs made him more agitated compared to if he let me know and asked to go on x
We are also at this stage! Initially he was really eager to poo and wee on the potty but now the novelty of it seems to have worn off. He also has no interest in wearing pants and asks for a nappy on (we let him choose the pants). I noticed we all have boys. I think they are usually harder/take longer to potty train😮💨😅
Typically boys are later. It's just a shame because my son is ready in every other sense for training, just has a strong aversion to actually sitting on his potty. I'm hoping we can crack it before he's 3 🤞 because between him and his younger brother, I'm spending a fortune on nappies 😂 it makes me feel better knowing it's not only us struggling though.
No advice I’m sorry but we are going through the same. It’s really hard as I know he can do it as he’s weed on it previously and really loved the praise, we’re doing sticker charts and sweets. But I cannot get him to sit on it. I know if I could catch him before he weed and get him on it with lots of praise and sweets and a sticker it would make it positive for him but I just can’t get him on without him getting upset.
