My DS is 4 next month. He absolutely will not sit on a potty or toilet at all. He arches his back, cries, runs away etc etc. We have taken a very hands off approach for a good few months now as we don't want him associating the toilet with distress. He can hold his wee's for hours and hours and is even dry overnight sometimes but he also doesn't consistently tell us if he has had a poo and denies it when we ask despite the Bisto kids aroma in the room. We have tried rewards, bribery, talking about being a big boy like his brother etc. We are not aware of any negative incidents at home or nursery around the toilet (they struggle to get him on as well so have also stopped trying as they don't want him to be so upset either). no one seems to manage to go to the toilet unsupervised in this house so he gets plenty of opportunity to see what everyone else is doing. He starts school in September so I'm starting to feel the pressure. Has anyone experienced a child like this? PS it's worth saying as well he won't wear pants (chose his own but it didn't work), and he hates being naked from the waist down. Won't even go ten minutes before bath time without a nappy. He also won't wear pull ups (we use cloth nappies, I've tried cloth and commercial pull ups to no avail). PPS have also spoke with HV who is stumped too. She is sending a nursery nurse round in a couple of weeks to assess his development but he is absolutely developmentally normal in every way. I'm getting desperate!
