My DD2 is 3.5 and we are having such a nightmare with potty training. I am now trying the gently approach after a boot camp approach in the summer led to a refusal to even sit on the potty in the end. I am grateful she will at least try and sit on it now as that has taken months!
Anyway, she is getting better at wearing pants and trying (sitting on potty but not really trying!) We have used the usual rewards and positive encourage, praise etc. What she will do is to hold her wee / poo in until we eventually put a nappy on her. This can be at bed or if she has to go to nursery (not reliable enough for pants). She will agree that she is holding it in and it is driving me batty. I cannot make her wee/poo in the toilet or potty. We have books etc and stickers and choc for weeing/pooing in the right place etc.
Has anyone else had this and do you have any gems of wisdom to help us get over this? I really am at my wits end and can't believe we are still struggling with this.
