DS is 3.2 and the thing that has become increasingly frustrating in the last couple of months is how difficult it is to get him to listen and do what we say. It's particularly difficult to get him to go to the toilet (when he clearly needs to go), resulting in a few last minute dashes to the toilet and the occasional accident. The other thing is getting him ready for bed and ready for nursery in the morning. He will procrastinate for as long as possible over getting dressed etc. On top of this, nursery say it is important to do as much as possible for themselves (eg. dressing themselves etc) as preparation for starting school.
Is this just a phase that will pass or will he be the same when he is 4/5 years old? Is there anything we can do to listen and speed things up?
