I started potty training my son in July when he broke up from nursery for the summer (July 20th was our first nappy free day). He was 2yrs 9months then and after the usual first couple of days of accidents he quickly got the hang of wees on the toilet (we started with one of those Summer Infant toilet shaped potty’s and have consistently used the word ‘toilet’). He is now 3yrs 2months and has since moved on to using the adult toilet with a step and seat insert. He is so good with wees, will take himself to the toilet and will say when he needs to go when we are out. However he is still pooing in his pants this is happening every day to every other day. We’ve tried rewards (stickers, chocolate buttons) and punishments (taking toys away, time out) and absolutely nothing appears to be working. I’m at the very end of my patience, I started out very calm and understanding but enough is enough now. He pooed in his pants again this morning and I’m not proud of myself but he had his first smack and has been put back to bed
I don’t know what to do with him, any help or advise would be so appreciated x
He still wears a nappy at bedtime
