Wetting Nappies

Hi
I have a 3yr5mth old son who was doing really well on his potty training and was only wearing nappies at night.

Since he started pre-school he wets his pants at least 3 times a day at his nursery and just now, on a Sunday, he has wet his trousers twice, even when his potty is in front of him. He even, although he wears a nappy at night, manages to wet the bed with it on.....

His behaviour has got a lot more aggressive and he is forever hitting, punching or kicking me, especially when he is tired.

I try and put him to bed at 7.00pm every night - his Dad works at night a lot so its usually just me but when his Dad is here, its a lot harder to get him to bed and he has now demanded to go in Daddys bed instead of his own.

We are at our wits end because of the aggression and toilet training and wondering whether to just go back to nappies during the day again?
Please help!!
Thanks

Try cutting down on fluid intake after 5pm. Aim for vast majority of fluid intake to be during core daytime hours.

As part of bedtime routine, try to have two visits to the loo/potty. First right at the beginning, say at 6pm, then have bath, story etc with another loo/potty try just before final tuck into bed.

How long is his day at nursery? If it's a full-day, rather than just a morning, then check with staff regarding toilet training procedures. For example, are they offering lots of opportunity for him to go. Are they expecting him to use a toilet, rather than a potty? If he's having potty at home, and toilet at nursery, he may not be happy about using toilet at nursery.

He may be too busy at nursery playing, to get to the toilet in time. Talk to him about it, talk to the staff, see if you can establish if it's near misses, or if he's perhaps scared to go on a nursery toilet.

Bedtime... do try to insist that he sleeps in his own bed. If he has any worries about sleeping in his own room, try to find a soluition. You may need to check the room for monsters each night before he will go to sleep!
