Has anyone got any good tips for potty training when you are working and don't have more than two consective full days at a time without your child having to go to nursery?
DS is 2.6 and although he will sit on the potty/toilet he has NEVER done anything on it - simply makes a "sssshhhh" noise as if he's weeing, says "finished", grabs a handful of loo roll and flushes it. However - when we put him in pants for evenings and weekends, and he does have enough control to not wet/soil them until he has a nappy back on, even if that is immediately after he's sat on the potty/toilet. Yet he tells us that he wants to wear his pants and not his nappy.
It's almost as if he's ready for it in every way except that he hasn't quite grasped what he's actually supposed to do on the toilet and thinks that with his sound effects he's getting it right. Not quite sure when to proceed from here. Any ideas?
