Hi there!
some tips please
my little boy is 3 in October and we have been “dry” since August as we cracked it over the summer holidays.
he went back to nursery in September in his big boy pants and went back to full days where he was previously doing half days, he was also a lot more aware of his little brother (6 months) staying at home with me and since going back to nursery he has had countless accidents. Now I have to say at the beginning they only seemed to happen at nursery and I put it down to his shyness but now he is totally rebelling going on the potty at all.

how do I go about this? Before school started again in September we had 3 full weeks no accidents!
he is not using the potty at all at school and is having countless accidents. Being quite naughty with it at home saying he does not need a wee and then weeing 2 minutes later.
if it was a case of him not being ready I would curb it and try again in a couple of months but he was completely fine when it was just us. Nursery are taking him every 30 minutes he tells them he does not need to go and then goes 30 seconds later. He also now waits for his nighttime nappy to do a poo which a few weeks ago was happily doing on the potty.

im at a loss, feel embarrassed and i never tell him off after he does a wee on the floor but getting quite frustrated when he does it and laughs saying “I did wee on the floor”

any help?

My eldest did this. He would also wee on purpose when we told not to do something. For us I think he was testing boundaries.

How long did this last please? From one very stressed mam!
