Poop accident potty training

[Cheeeritree]

so on day 3 now. DS is doing fantastic! It is 85% me asking does he need to go (knowing his signs, or just noticing it’s been longer etc) and he goes. Hes been unprompted when nothing on waist down

had handful of accidents and today popped in his undies :( and said I had a little poop

He’s done his previous poops in the potty he doesn’t seem scared of it. It’s just a general accident when playing and it was a little one so didn’t see straining etc

how can I help here? Hes got nursery in 2 days and want him to be as trained as possible and minimal accidents

How old is he and does he actually know when he needs to go? Does he recognise the feeling? If not then it's virtually impossible to train them.

He’s 2y9mo

he has sometimes asked me and said he needs a wee / poo or he mainly will ask for his undies down (help pulling them down)

And also he is a bit speech delayed but he must know the feeling as when I’ve asked he’ll say yes and actually go

and he’s been unprompted himself a few times just took himself and went , no accident on way. So he must know if he’s took himself and done it? And only shouted us over when he’s done

Seems to be doing pretty well with great awareness. He might not poo when at nursery, mine doesn’t, but then mine is also speech delayed and so his setting understand that. Do they know he’s a little speech delayed? Often they will expect children of that age to ask to go to the potty / toilet, and if he’s not able to express the need then you need to let them know.

Thanks he won’t sit in an accident if he has one. He tells me he’s done something instantly and goes to the potty after starting

bit I’m starting to prompt less that’s my focus for rest of today/tomorrow before nursery. Not ask loads and let him tell me

yes they do and I know there’s another child in his room speech delayed so if she’s potty trained they deal with her. I’m going to email the nursery tomorrow and double check things

but surely the first week (he does 3 days) they should be okay with asking ? Now and then

Just noticed he just pulled his undies down and started to head to the potty without saying

this is surely okay with nursery as someone would spot him? And help him to it if needed but he’s taking himself to it more than he’s saying

By my knowledge at that age there’s a real range of stages - just explain the full situation and they’ll know how to help him.

some will ask if they can go to the toilet and will go independently, some will be in between like you DC and others might need full nappy changes without being able to express their needs, so they should be used to it.
