My little boy is 4 next month, we had a difficult time potty training him, it is all very hit and miss main issues is wee. he knows when he needs to go, but is defiant when prompted! he insists he doesn't need to despite clearly needing to. He has been out of nappies in the day since july last year but despite this he hates going to the toilet (seems an inconvenience) often when we discover hes had an accident he will say i was too busy playing. He is also not bothered about being wet. he is brilliant if he's at home and has no clothes on, will come and go to the toilet! you name it ive tried it! books, youtube videos, fancy pant shopping, sticker charts, bribery! being sympathetic, ignoring it, getting cross! im at my wits end! i cant help but compare him with other kids, who are mastering overnight continence and we cant even crack the day!

M and M candies! My friends that have multiple kids swear by it. And it worked wonders with my son. One for pee, two for poops. Good luck mamma! Also look up the 3 day potty training method. It’s a 72 hour commitment, but sooo worth it. It worked with us on the first try.
