hi am in desperate need of advice.I have been tryng to potty train my ds who 3.7 yrs old and has speech delay.Hes grown to big for pottys so have moved onto trying the toilet ive tried sticker charts,rewards and made the toilet fun by putting up fun pictures ect hes happy to sit on the toilet but nothing happens he seems to hold it most of the day and then the flood gates open in the afternoon.I spent most of today taking him to the toilet in the hope that i might get him on the toilet at the golden moment but nothing,then as soon as my back was turned woosh pee everywhere.HELP.

hi joeyjog
does he have any other issues apart from speech delay? My son is 4 and was toilet trained at 3.9 years old.
You do get big potties. We ended up turning the potty back to front
