My DS1 3.3 yrs has been toilet trained and dry at night for 6 months and rarely has true accidents but he has started weeing on the floor first thing in the mornings - when I ask why he says because I want to - i.e. not an accident, when he has an accident he crys as he doesn't like wet trousers but when he does this he just laughs - it doesn't help that DS2 (1.9yrs) laughs too. This morning he did it - third time this week and I got really cross - have held my cool until now. I know this is probably an attention thing and as such it is working. Any tips - I think my options are a. ignore it - which I find really hard to do
b. drag him to the loo as soon as he gets out of bed - tried and he just refused to go c. bribery - if you wee in the loo you get a sweetie don't really want to go down this route if I can help it (although it has worked for other things e.g. cutting nails!) Any advice out there?
