I started potty training my son a while ago when he was around 2yrs 5mths. It went as well as could be expected for the first 3 weeks. We had a star chart and he loved getting the stickers. then he got bored. Refused to go most of the time until we got ourselves in such a mess, it was very very stressful, so i put him back in nappies which is how its been for the last 3 months.
Two weeks ago, I decided to tackle it again. I did it by the book, but this time no stickers. I used half a giant chocolate button instead. He did really well but i can now see it going the way it went before. He knows he needs to go but just plain doesn't want to. Yesterday we had two poo accidents and a wee one…. been ok today so far but i can tell he's holding it in. I make sure when he goes he sees how happy we are and over play the hugs, high fives and treats.
I'm happy for him to wear nappies at night but they are always dry when i take them off in the morning.
Really don't know what to do. He does two half days at nursery and is great for them!!
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
He has an older sister who is now 11 and i had her potty trained by 2! And his younger sister who is 18 months keeps sitting on the potty every opportunity she gets… She's more ready than he is, i'm tempted to give her a go?
Please help i'm running out of ideas for him, and i'm starting to get cross with him which i know is completely not helping. He looks really disappointed when he has an accident, but his playing is what he would rather be doing other than sitting on the potty.
