Hi everybody
Looking for advice on what to do with my 3 1/2 year old. He was a total nightmare to potty train, hes so stubborn it was like he resisted every request just for the hell of it. He wouldnt go near a potty or toilet and would scream blue murder if I tried to "force" him to sit on the potty. In the end I kind of gave up and waited until he wanted to do it himself which he literally did in a day. It was like he just said, OK Im ready, I'll do it now. He was 3 and 3 months by that point. Things were going well apart from poos and he would wait until the pull ups went on at night to do a poo every day. He's been constipated for the last week or so and was in real pain the other night before doing the biggest solid lumps of poo Ive ever seen, poor wee soul was in agony. In the last week hes regressed to the point where hes now back to screaming every time we go near a toilet when hes v obviously bursting then peeing his pants. I think hes still a bit constipated as his pants are always dirty so Im wondering is he frightened if he starts a pee will he do a sore poo?? Im also having a baby this week so am also wondering is it an attention thing. I have a 5 year old son and he has been "baby Harris" until now where he's "big boy Harris" He sometimes says things like "NO, Im the baby" - is it possible hes wanting to stay the baby and is doing this to keep my attention. HELP!!!!!!!!!
