my ds is 4.2yo. he's very independent for his age. When we are out and about and he needs the toilet, he refuses to go in the ladies with me. He gets upset if I insist on it. Says he's a boy and must go to the boys toilets. Problem is of course I can't follow him in there. The other day I was waiting outside for him and I could hear him crying. a nice man bought him out to me, he'd locked himself in the cubicle and couldn't get out. I know you will all tell me to insist that he comes in the ladies with me but he is mortified at doing this. not sure what to do about it.
