DS1 is 3.9 and started training slowly in the couple of months before he was 3. We'd considered starting earlier, but postponed due to new baby and then a holiday!
As in the title, he can go weeks with only occasional 'didn't quite make it' accidents then like this week he has wetting accidents every day at home and at nursery.
Touch wood he is a regular after meal pooper and very rarely has a poo accident. (touches more wood)
DH its SAHD to the 2 DC (youngest is 1) and is getting frustrated and annoyed.
He feels DS1 knows when he needs and has pointed out he's the only one in his class regularly wetting (I assume this its from gossip with the other parents as DS's teacher reassured us about it a bit early on) DH seems to think he'll just keep doing this forever if we don't sort it.
DS1 is frankly rubbish at taking himself to the toilet and we have to remind him a lot. he its strangely better when out and loves to ask to go for a poo in a restaurant.
I read 'no cry potty training' and another book before we started as I felt clueless, both seemed to advocate not making a big fuss for accidents which I've tried to do.
So firstly, does anyone have any tips to help remind him to go? He can hold it for quite a while, he just seems to have no urgency about going.
Are some DC just like this and do they ever get it?
I don't want to fall out with DH about this, I think he's a bit annoyed with me wading in sometimes as he deals with most of the accidents while I'm at work!
I'd like to be able to reassure him and help DS1.
in advance and sorry for long waffle!
