Hi,
I have no idea what to do with my 3yr old son.
For about 3/4 mths he has been great at peeing in the toilet, for the last 2wks he has gone right back to the start almost and doing more than a dribble of wee in his pants and we don't know what to do with him.
I don't want to shout at him, but then neither do i want to mother him to much about it. I just want to understand why he is doing this, it seems to be getting worse and worse.
4 times today; once this morning and 3 times in the afternoon
I have done a chart of sad faces for pees in the pants and smiley faces for dry pants. I told him that if he is dry all day then he will get a special treat and sad faces he can't.
20 minutes later he's peeing in his pants as he's playing I noticed and stopped him and he didn't care, not a care in the world and when you ask him why he's done it all he says is "because i wanted to" or "because i want to be" and when you threaten with a nappy for being a baby and peeing in his pants he cries and shouts and says he's a good boy and that i'm bad.
We are really at our wits end and wonder if anyone has any tips to get him dry again. I went a brought a mattress protector as I felt sure we could start training him at night now, but should i still go ahead and do this if we're having problems during the day?
Hope someone can help
Michelle
