I've posted in here before and I'm honestly at my wits end. I don't know what I'm doing. Crying as I'm writing this, I feel so alone and frustrated.
My son is 4 in August. It's half term this week and I'd already put it in my diary that this week I'm focusing on potty training. Im aware it's only Monday morning but I suppose it properly started yesterday but I feel like I'm getting nowhere.
Yesterday wasn't a bad day, he kept his big boy pants on mostly all day(between bouts of nakedness). Did three wees in his pants and one poo and that was all in terms of accidents.
This morning when we got up, first thing I did was try and get him to sit on the toilet and he was having none of it so I took his pull ups off and put him pants on. Offered him the toilet again, said no. Went to make breakfast, came back and he'd weed. Not even half an hour after that he'd weed in another pair of pants again. And now he's done it again!!!!! It is 9.30!!! I have a timer on my phone that goes off every 20 minutes (? A bit excessive?) to remind me to offer him the toilet. I'm also struggling to get him to keep pants on, he's a child that prefers being naked. I've found that he doesn't really have accidents when he's naked but it's getting him used to not doing his business when he has pants on which he just can't seem to grasp. I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle with him.
At night time I've been leaving him in pull ups which I think might be confusing him but it's always pretty full first thing.. when my older son was 2 he'd wake up dry which was a big indicator for me that he was ready to be toilet trained. I guess don't know what I'm doing.
Does anyone have any help or advice or has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer me any hope?!
