Hi Do u think he has a fear of wetting himself? Do he use the toilet/potty and wee? You just have to watch he doesn’t get dehydrated especially in the warm weather.

I don't have any advice but I just bought a book to help me when I come to potty train my little one and I really feel like it's helpful. "The Gentle Potty Training Book" by Sarah Ockwell-Smith.

I've read some of her other stuff too and it's really helped (with sleep routine mostly). Try amazon for second hand and cheaper copies.

You can get washable training pants, basically washable nappies. Could you try those? Let him know that it doesn’t matter if he has an accident but he should try using the potty. Just a thought
