Hi all. DS will be 4 in June and we are tearing our hair out trying to potty train him. We have tried several times over the past year and used several different methods (going cold turkey from nappies, bribing with chocolate/sweets/toys, taking to the toilet every half an hour etc) and nothing has worked. He either gets distressed and starts crying and says no, or he just shows no interest! When he's wearing trousers with no nappy he doesn't even seem to notice/care that he has wet himself. He doesn't tell us that he needs the toilet. He does show interest in sitting on the toilet, flushing it, washing his hands etc but he has never actually done anything on it.
He does have a speech delay for which he's under SALT, could this possibly affect things?
I don't know if he's simply being stubborn, or whether he's genuinely not ready. I don't want to push it if it's the latter, but equally he's supposed to be starting school in September and I'm starting to feel the pressure a little. He has an older sister who was really easy to potty train and was reliably trained day and night by DSs age, but I understand all kids are different and she didn't have a speech delay.
Did anyone else have this?
Thank you ☺️
