DS won't let me change his pull-ups!

He is 3 in April. Now, obviously I can hold him down and force him to change them, but are there any less draconian methods to incentivise him?

He jsut seems to want nothing to do with anything toilet realted at the moment. After a promising start doing a wee on the potty every night he now refuses point blank to sit on it most of the time, and when he does, he immediately says "I can't".

Now he says he doesn't want to change his "pants" at all. He ends up leaking through to his trousers and then changes his mind Hmm but he also doesn't tell us when he's done a poo, and rarely cooperates when we change him following one. (He's possibly withholding poos as well; they're certainly less frequent now than they were a month or so ago.)

I've tried with stickers, and even (desperate0 chocolate coins, but he's just not interested. I'm not worried about the potty training; I know it will come in time, but is there a solution to the nappy changing thing that anyone can think of?

at 2 years old i wouldnt let him make the decision.

if hes wet you as a parent decide he needs changing and change him....

He'l soon get the message that mummy is boss, not toddler.

lots of children dont co-operate
either bribe, and if that doesnt work get it done as quickly as possible, then move on
