I haven't posted much before but I am desperately after some advice regarding ds who is now 3.6 years. I have "gently" tried to potty train at various times since he was 2 ish and have had no success. He will use the toilet occasionally, when he wants to.

He is a bit of a sensitive chap so I have tried not to be to pushy about it, but I am now getting nagged by nursery about him still being in nappies. Therefore, I have tried really hard over the last 4 days to introduce him to the idea of pants and potties - with no luck. I am lucky if we have one success in a day, the washing machine has not stopped running

I have tried everything that I have been told, sticker charts, bribes, pants on, pants off, sitting him on potty regularly etc etc. If he poos or wees in his pants he just does not care but continues, playing, running around etc.

Am I being too pushy now, have I not been pushy enough, am I expecting too much too soon, will he be going to school in nappies? Developmentally he seems fine, mentally and physically, but just not with his toilet habits.

All suggestions will be gratefully received. Thank you in advance.
