My son is 2 years 9 months. The last 8 weeks we have been potty training. I wasn't sure he was ready when we started as he never gave any indications he knew he needed nappy changes. For a few weeks prior, i sat him on the toilet before bath time and praise him when he did a wee. One afternoon he asked for "a wee wee on the toilet" so i sat him on there. After he did a wee he refused to have a nappy back on. I went with it, he did really well! We were having trips out and he was dry, asking for the toilet when needed there were occasional accidents but very few.

Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. He is now weeing in his pants more than he is using the toilet. He attends nursery for 2.5 hours a day and today he used the toilet there twice but also had 3 accidents.

I have tried my best to ignore accidents, but today i lost my temper. He emptied a toy box (small plastic tub) do he could sit in it. He did a wee then got up and poured it on his head. I really told him off, and i feel terrible for it. I don't know what to do from here. I thought about giving him a break and trying again in a few weeks, but he refuses a nappy "i not a baby" and he refuses a pull up in the day as they are for bed. He will just take them off.

Any advice at all is greatfully received.

Sorry that is so long.

Just to add we have used sticker charts, lots of praise and he loves to read Pirate Pete's Potty.
