A little dramatic, but that's how it feels to me. I am convinced this kid will never get trained. We had some luck over last few months. He is 3 1/2 and has pretty much stopped going potty most of the time at home. He will just say no potty, I take him in and he will either stand there playing with himself or say " it no work" or pitch a helacious fit. So Ok I took a step back for a week or so and he pretty much went on potty maybe once a day, I thought maybe he needed to not be pressured. He has never pooped on potty, which I know people say is kinda normal. He will say mama sit down and then he goes behind the kitchen island and poops. I know he is doing it, but when I try to go get him to potty, he will stop pooping and so it's a no go. Ugg. This potty training thing I am convinced he is going to high school in pull ups. Haha. Any suggestions?
Re: My kid is going to high school without being potty trained.
No he hasn't regressed or anything he just doesn't seem to progress much. He has a speech delay is his only delay. I also go in when he poops in his pull up and we put it in potty together and say this is where we poop, but at this point I would be happy if he would consistently pee in the potty.I also see nothing wrong with making children take a little responsibilty for their actions. It helps them understand actions and their consequences. I am so frustrated at this point. I had taken some time off of trying and yet nothing seems to help. We had a weekend of him being dry all but twice and I rewarded him, but he never tells me he needs to go and always says no when I ask, but I just take him anyway and say we can't do this until we potty. Ugg, this stuff is hard. I am using sticker charts, which he likes, but apparently not enough to get him to go consistently on the potty. Sorry for the vent ladies, but I don't know what else to try at this point.
I don't have any great advice its a frustrating time for us too
