We are getting nowhere despite it being over a year since he did his first wee on the potty. He's just not interested and my patience is wearing thin. He can do it but had just as many accidents as successes.
We have tried loads of attempts over the past year and he can do it but just not all the time! We seem to be more successful with no clothes on but he is able to pull down/up pants and trousers. We seem to get nowhere so give in and go back to nappies and i ask him if he needs to use the potty at bathtime/nappy changes but usually the answer is no. Today is our most recent attempt and we started at 12 after playgp he had 2 wees on the potty in quick succession and then we had a near poo episode where he just wouldn't go and started getting really upset despite me sitting with him reading stories then he really wanted a nappy on so i agreed that he could but when he'd done a poo off it came. After 15 mins he hadn't had a poo and i said we should take the nappy off and i didn't want wee in the nappy - while i said this he was weeing! he had one more success then 2 accidents in trousers the first time i was very calm and patient and 'never mind' but the second time i couldn't help being frustrated he said sorry and agreed to try harder especially being as he was only 1 success away from his 5 success present and then he had a wee on the floor a foot away from his potty and i hit the roof i can't understand what we're doing wrong. We've tried sweets, stickers, the big boy routine, sticker charts, and we're now trying to bribe him with presents but he's not doing it! Next suggestion please!
