My son is 3y2m he's intellectually very advanced but struggles physically, for example he can never get his socks off himself but he can count to 100 and knows how to draw some letters.
We've only just begun potty training because before now he had no clue he was weeing and he would take himself off to poo in secret. Before christmas we bought him a potty and he now goes on it happily when he wakes / after bath / after sleep / before bed etc and sometimes we catch a lucky wee or poo. In the bath he will always call me and say he needs the potty, I think because he is scared of getting his bath water dirty so it drives him to use it.
So the way we're now thinking of tackling it is to have a potty set up downstairs with his sticker chart above and a jar of buttons for when he goes successfully and a sticker for when he attempts.
however, we aren't going cold turkey, we are just having nappy free time between 10am-1pm and 3pm-6pm approx daily and then when we leave the house we are still using nappies.
My reason being I still don't think he fully understands when he needs to go and going cold turkey will cause a lot of stress (& laundry!)
Its also crossed my mind that he perhaps isn't ready, but I am feeling pressure now he's turned 3.
What do you think?
