14:0589064Try the PRODUCE AND REWARD method Mel.
It still works for me.

14:4289069One of our sons (about that age) was always being asked "Have you been?" One day he volunteered "I've done some beans!"
A friends daughter was well advanced in toilet training. It was alright until she wandered off in the bathroom section of B&Q!

16:3289086Don't worry too much Mel, children all progress differently. Thalia will happily sit on the potty for hours, even brings it down to sit on while watching Ceebeebies, but still waits for a nappy to perform a number two.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

16:3589087No pants, they seem to be more aware of what they are doing. It's not a concern but well worth getting sorted.

17:0489091It is ok Mel I no longer have that problem,although with old age approaching may get it again!
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

17:0789093Mel, I have no words of wisdom, but after 4 of the little beasts I can say that, generally they sort themselves out! One day I suspect he will simply realise he is a bit uncomfortable unless he goes in the "right" place and hey presto! A bit of gentle encouragement and reminding is all you need. Boys take longer than girls................I have nothing to add to that!
PS - good luck!

18:0389102Good luck Mel, I don't think it will take to long.
Bern said, I have nothing to add......anything to get out of an argument.
Surprised we didn't get a UKIP comment on this one, we have on everything else.

19:0889128Boys are more difficult than girls, they 'hang on' until the last moment because they are buzy doing other things. One of my grandsons was very late sorting himself out we had visions of him wearing nappies to school.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
