I started a thread back in February regarding my son who is struggling with potty training. He is now 3.7 and is still resisting using the potty or toilet. Today we received a call from the health visiting service who nursery had contacted. They run a service helping children get ready for school ( he doesn't start until September '16) and thought we would benefit from some input regarding his potty training. I feel like a shit parent who has somehow let him down, we tried to let him do it at his own pace and follow nursery's advice but he was getting to a point where he was holding wee in all day and rocking and shaking. He will wear pants but again either holds it in and we eventually give in and out him back in a pull up or he wets himself.
Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated. Just to give an overall picture He is very verbal and according to nursery quite advanced developmentally in this area and he reached most of his other milestones at an average time. However, he is very strong willed and has quite a temper. He is generally a very happy little boy and usually sleeps well but has been slow to settle this past week and was still up at ten o clock on Tuesday night. I'm not sure if any of this is relevant but I feel so upset for him (although he doesn't seem bothered).
