HI - does anyone have any advice on potty training?. My DS is almost 2.5 and has taken to potty training really quickly this last week at home. He now runs and gets his potty saying 'my want a wee wee' then sits, wees and likes to help empty it into the toilet. We have had 4 consecutive days with no accidents despite lots of trips to supermarket/ park/ toddler groups etc - so, all good...
But he goes to nursery 2 days a week and both days now he has screamed and screamed and refused to wear his pants in the morning (which he normally loves choosing) saying that he wants his nappy on. He has then gone on to have lots of accidents at nursery (despite sitting on a potty apparently), which I assume just upsets him more. I tried to take his special Thomas potty in to see if it is the nursery potty he doesn't like but he screamed at that too and said it had to stay at home....
It has made him really unsettled before and after nursery (lots of clinginess and playing up) and we have had some very sleepless nights too with lots of shouting out for mummy - so he is obviously feeling insecure....
I'm just really unsure what to do as he was doing so well at home that I am reluctant to put him back in pants and retuen to square one - equally, I obviously don't want him to be so upset that he doesn't want to go to nursery anymore (he now keeps saying he doesn't like nursery, doesn't want to go)....
Has anyone else experienced this??? Any advice greatly appreciated!!!!
