Anyone else’s child not potty trained?

I’m trying and trying, I’m a teacher so I try every half term and she’s not getting it still. She tells me after that she’s done a wee

You can’t force them. They’ll get it when they are ready. My son is suspected autistic and is 4.5 and not fully trained yet. Most of the time wees in potty but never poop and wears nappies overnight still.

Nope I am trying in August as they say it’s easier when they are 3 and hoping she’ll also be ready then

My son has been naked from the waist down since November while were in the house, tried putting pants on him many times and he pretends he needs a wee as soon as I put them on, I take them off to help him he goes to his potty and then runs away saying no when I ask him to put his pants back on, 2 days ago I actually managed to get pants on him but he had 2 accidents, one I kinda caught in time to help him wee on the potty but the second time he was sitting on his Dad's lap and just peed all over him which makes me laugh inside because our son peed on me loads when he was a baby when I was changing him, anyway yesterday it was as if we took one step forward and 2 back because twice he weed on the kitchen floor out of no where which he has never ever done since when we first started potty training and he also weed on the dining room floor. I'm getting tired of the pressure of being told he should be out of nappies by now, which he sort of is but it's only when we're on the house, he wears a nappy outside &bed.

Really recommended ‘Oh crap, potty training’ book. It was an intense week but my son got it quickly after that. We trained him at 26 months. Still in night nappies for now though x

We're going through it now, some days she's really good and other days (like today) she has more accidents. She doesn't know the difference between needing to pee or poo though so she will ask for potty to poo but actually just needs to wee. She does better when she has nothing on waist down than when she is wearing knickers but she's coming down with a cold so she's feeling chilly and wants to be wearing clothes, bless her.

We did it over Christmas and it was honestly hell for about 3 weeks almost gave up then one day she just got it can take some more time than others a lot of her friends who are older also aren’t potty trained so try not to stress

My daughter isn’t and I’m not forcing her

My daughter randomly refused to wear a nappy one morning a couple of weeks ago so she's now nappy free during the day but I wouldn't say she's particularly ready. If we don't sit her on the potty or toilet every 45 mins or so she'll happily go in her pants. It takes time x

My boy isn’t there yet either. Tells me after a poo but has no idea about wee

Our son does a wee on the toilet every night before bed, occasionally will say he wants to try during the day but we aren't pushing it. I tried it in October half term (also work in a school so stuck to holidays) and he just didn't have it. We go to Disney first week of Easter so I'm waiting until after. I don't want him to be in the throws of learning then have to stand in queues for rides where there are no toilets. I plan to try him the second week of the holidays and see how he goes.

We started training after Christmas. He sometimes does well and other days not

I haven’t started potty training my little one yet either, although I know he’s ready for it. Because every time he takes a wee or poo he’ll tell me, then when he’s finished he’ll want me to change his nappy. But I know the thought of going to the toilet scares him, even when I take him to brush his truth he’ll point his fingers at the toilet and say “mummy’s turn” as in my turn to wee/poo. - He won’t want to go anywhere near the toilet. But I know he understands, and I try to encourage him as much as I can. But what I don’t want to do is force him and make him cry. Also, my situation is different. I live with my in laws and we are planning to move out in a couple months time inshallah so ideally would want to potty train him properly in our new house so he’s not confused and no third parties are getting involved either x
