My son has been toilet trained since before 3, however, while they race to the toilet for a pee, they don't seem to care sitting in poo and don't go to the toilet.
We saw signs it was improving before school but now every day, we are having 2-3 poo "accidents" and seems to be no way getting through to him he needs to go to the toilet - he's pooing himself during school, not telling anyone and he's coming home with a sore bottom.
We are at breaking point, DH and I are constantly arguing about it, we never fought before but its taking its toll on us both.
We have reached out to ERIC and receive the same generic advice we see across the Internet, we have done rewards, we have done big treats if he had no accidents after Xamount if days.
When it happens, I've tried to keep my cool, I've tried talking, I've tried understanding why he doesn't want to go but all he says is "just because" when I ask him why he won't go.
He seems more tuned into TV or toys that it is he ends up entranced in his activities and cqnt seem to get him to realise he needs the toilet. we have tried regular toilet breaks and also removing TV and toys at certain times and still nothings worked.
I'm lost and tired and don't know what to do - I really am at my witts end.
Please tell me anyone who has been in the same situation that it gets better, I need something for my sanity.
