Potty training

Oh gosh yeah 3 on Saturday, sorry I’m so tired! It’s draining me! 😂
He is very clearly not ready and the fact that you are forcing him will only make things worse(even if I understand you are doing it because they told you so). You can explain that at nursery, they cannot force kids to be potty trained. My nephew was 3.5yo when potty trained, and what about kids with disabilities or with later developments? Will they not accept them? My nursery told me that doesn't matter if he goes and he's not ready yet, every kid has it's own time. Push the nursery not your kid. Good luck ❤️
It doesn’t seem like he’s ready. My son is 3 on Thursday and completely refuses the potty/toilet and pants so I’m waiting. My nephew is 3.5 years now he was the same at 3 then around 3 and 3 months he just told my sister he needed a wee and he learnt within a couple of days. My sons nursery has said to try potty train him in the summer holidays but if they’re not ready you can’t force it, I’ll be sending my son in pull ups if still not ready, I think they would rather that then constantly cleaning up mess
Do you mean they’re 3 on Saturday? If not, aged 1 is super early and strange of nursery to expect them to be trained. For my 3 year old, we had a couple books, pirate pete and no more nappies that we read. Forcing him to sit on the potty etc didn’t get us anywhere, nor did asking him if he needed a wee. He’s an independent minded lil guy so we found talking to him about where wees and poos go then reminding him of that every time we spoke to him got it to stick. ‘Where do you go when you need a wee’ and ‘don’t forget where your wee wees go’ etc. We also had a few different potty’s, he ended up with a favourite but preferred using it out of site, rather than in the middle of the room. Lastly, staying home and cooping him up was horrendous, we all hated it. My partner was really patient with him, took the potty everywhere with us and just stayed consistent over 2/3 days. There was some accidents of course, and poos took another month or so. Consistency is key!! xx
