My little boy will be three in a couple of months. For the past few months I've tried to encourage him to try sitting on the potty or on a toilet seat on the big toilet like mommy and daddy, he will sit on the toilet briefly and almost hug you, while he's on there and laugh, but wont actually do anything.
I've since brought him some big boy pants, and decided while we were at home at any period in the day, we could take his nappy off and put pants on, just to get him started, but he becomes really upset and tells me he doesn't want to wear them. He doesn't seem bothered by having a wet nappy, he doesn't tell me if he's weeing. But he will tell me if he's having a number 2, but when i suggest going to do it on the toilet, he refuses. He doesn't seem bothered or uncomfortable.
So now I'm wondering is he not ready? He's a very forward little boy, very vocal and knows his own mind! He has older cousins and friends close to his age so knows that they go to the toilet, but he just doesn't seem bothered by it. I don't want to push him and upset him, or make it into some big thing for him.
Maybe I'm rushing it? I just seem to hear of so many children younger than him potty trained. Any tips would be so appreciated!!😊
