My son has just turned 3 and we decided to start potty training at the weekend. After a couple of accidents, he did fantastically on Saturday and really got the hang of it. He was also great on Sunday morning and had no accidents. On Sunday afternoon we went to my mother in laws as it was her birthday and there were lots of family there - however this is where it went wrong as my son refused to use the potty there, holding his wee until he was crying in agony. He held it until we got home and eventually went on the potty. Yesterday I put him back in pull ups and didn't really mention the potty, this afternoon I asked him if he wanted to wear pants - he said yes and then did the same as Sunday, refused to go on the potty or toilet until he was crying in pain. I asked if he wanted a pull up on and he said no but just wouldn't go. In the end I told him to just wee while he was sitting on me just to get him to go! I tried putting him on the potty whilst he was doing it and he went hysterical. It's so distressing, I just don't know what to do! Grateful for any advice!
