Arrgh! Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or can offer any advice. DS is 2 years 7 months. He has been toilet trained (we skipped the potty stage as he was happier to sit on the toilet) for about 3 months. It has gone very very well until recently, a couple of accidents in the first few days but brilliant since. He knows when he needs to go, asks to be taken and can hold it if we aren't near a toilet that second. On the whole very happy with progress.
Until the last 2 weeks. When we're out, he's still fine, asks to go, holds if necessary. But when we're at home, he is deliberately wetting himself. He knows he is going to do it as he says 'look at my trousers' and THEN immediately wets, so he is not asking to go and knows what he is going to do before he does it. If he is at home and has no pants or trousers on, he will ask for the toilet. We only have this issue if he is at home AND has trousers on. What can I do? I don't want him to permanently be bottom half naked at home as he needs to learn, but the wet trousers are driving me mad! He knows better, and is easily capable of it as he has been fine for months. I don't know why this has suddenly started or how to stop it. I have tried telling him off, tried the 'never mind, better luck next time' approach, neither have worked.
I know he is only young but he CAN do it, he has! Any suggestions gratefully received.
