Help! My 4 yo is still not willing to potty train

Hi, so my LB is almost 4 and will be starting school in September. We have tried and tried so many time with potty training but with no success. Only a hand full of time has he managed to get to the potty but not without seeing all the way to it. And never a poo in the potty. I’m starting to worry that he has no control of his bladder. I was wondering if anyone on this site has had or is having the same experience. Starting to feel super pressurised now with him starting school and I think he’s the only one not potty trained in his nursery group. I would be so greatful of any advice anyone could offer xxx

My 6 year old is not much better than she was aged 2 when we started training her. She wets constantly every day. Just to say you’re not alone. She wears pads and school check her at intervals through the day. I used to think it would be horrendous having an incontinent child in school but her school are lovely. Get a referral to school nurse once he starts then they will refer you to the continence nurses etc. There’s so much pressure to get them dry. Sometimes it’s just not possible.

Not what you're looking for?
