Hi. First thing don't worry. He will pick up on it. Also worrying will stop you looking at the situation practically. Firstly if he is passing regularly then that is the most important thing, and you don't want him getting an issue with it. Also you won't be the first person with this issue and neither the last! Try a reward chart for wearing big boy pants, and for using the toilet. Wear pants in the evening and at weekends in fact any time he is not at school. If he doesn't want to use a potty get one that fits on the toilet and constantly encourage him to use it. Telling him how grown up and what's big boy he is. It may take a while and speak to his teacher and ask them to be understanding during the transition. You do however want it taken care of before he goes to primary school. Chin up, be consistent and if in doubt speak to the health visitor. The last thing you need is for him to get upset which could lead to a refusal to go, which in turn could lead to constipation.
