My 3.5yo has a genetic condition that causes learning difficulties and developmental delay. We’ve tried on/off for over a year to encourage him to potty train. If he’s completely naked and has a wee he will immediately afterwards go sit on a potty, but to date can’t tell us before. He has no idea he’s even had a poo. We’ve tried just trousers on with/without pants. He seems worse with trousers as he will happily walk around with wet trousers on. If we try to get him to sit on a potty regularly he screams and gets upset. If we try for longer than 2 weeks he gets upset when he becomes wet.
I’m getting worried now as I don’t think he’s ready but I’m pregnant and baby is due in February. I’m worried that if we don’t crack it before then it won’t be until quite a while after baby is born and he’s due to start school in September. I really don’t want to delay him starting as he has a very special best friend who will be starting at the same time. Any advice appreciated. Are schools really strict with non-potty trained reception age children?
