Hi
My daughter is 3 years old (plus one week!). She starts school September 2018. We have had her in knickers for 4 days now with not a single scrap of progress. She knows what the toilet/potty is for, she knows what goes in it. She likes to sit on the loo and flush the chain but when it comes to using it for its real reason she is defiant and quite happy to wee on the floor or poo in her knickers. She ignores the potty. After a wee she casually says she has wee'd on the floor. I regularly ask her to go and bribe her to sit on the potty for a length of time. Nothing. She simply cannot be bothered. We went out and I put her in knickers and then a pull up over the top - figured the pull up would soak up the accident but the knickers would be wet and uncomfortable. Nothing. Was quite happy in damp. Would you give up and try again once this episode is forgotten? Or keep persisting. We have sticker charts, lots of praise - all the usual things, but nothing. Not a sausage. Help!
