Hi,
My DS is 2yrs 10mths and we have been potty training for the last 6 or 7 weeks. He was doing really well - at least when I was putting him on the potty/toilet every couple of hours but in the last week, I decided to stop forcing him to go as I thought he needed to learn when he should go instead. Unfortunately this isn't going very well - he justs wees in his pants now (a minute after I've asked him if he needs to go) and doesn't really seem to care. He doesn't get upset or apologetic. He just says "I've done a wee". I'm not quite sure how to handle it? I've tried just changing him and saying "Nevermind, try again next time". I've tried saying "We don't wee on the floor, we wee on the potty/toilet". And unfortunately this morning I got slightly frustrated with him (I know this was wrong, however, it was the 3rd wee I had to clean up!).
I ask him if he needs to go every hour or so and he says no without even thinking about it. However, he goes to nursery every Tuesday and apparently asks when he needs to go - so I know he is capable of doing it!
As for poos - he waits until he has his nappy on at naptimes and bedtime before he goes. We sit him on the toilet before he goes to bed for 5 minutes but then poos in his nappy 2 mins later.
I don't want to give up but do you think he is ready? I don't want to waste my time and push him into doing it before he is ready.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
