3 year old and potty training!! Desperate help needed.
My mindee is 3 years and 2 months. We tried potty training about 4 weeks ago but only lasted a couple of days because I convinced mum he wasn't ready and to try again a month or two later. We started again Monday and I still don't think he is ready but mum has said she is sticking to it this time. He is with me full time so spends the majority of time with me anyway 730-430 Monday to Friday.
He isn't telling me when he needs to go resulting in him weeing in is pants and just, he's just done his first poo since Sunday in his pants! I am constantly asking him if he needs a wee and regularly putting him on the potty as in every 30 mins or so. Yesterday he quite happily stayed on the potty for over 1 hour but then started getting upset when he couldn't hold it in any longer and he did a wee in the potty. I praised so so much, went stupidly over the top and I thought tha would be our turning point...... No, he then went onto to do another two accidents before going home.
I've tried bribery with food and even his favourite.... A McDonald's!! This morning he was very happy at the thought of going get a McDonald's before his mummy picks him up if he was not to see in his pants and to use the potty but he has just wee and pooped in his pants so no McDonald's now. I've tried stickers, presents ad still no joy.
He says he isn't even going tell me when he needs to go!!!!!! What the hell am I meant to do with him.
I've read that it should take a week to train if ready. Do you think he still isn't ready even at is age or is there something else we could try? I don't think there is anything we can do because he won't even tell me when he needs a wee and he certainly doesnt tell me when he has wee in his pants I have to find that one out myself :-(
The last wee he just did, he reluctantly wanted to check his pants so this does indicate to me he does know that he is seeing but he just isn't othered about being wet and certainly not bothered about using the potty. Toilet he is scared of so that is a no no at the moment.
What can I do before I loose my mind and my house starts to stink of pee?????!!!!! Help please x
