Oh my goodness I don’t know if this has made me feel worse or better .. I have a 4 year old boy who’s just started school still in pull-ups .. been trying to get him toilet trained for 2 years .. rang the health visitor quite a few times and was told to abandon everything I’ve tried and keep him in nappies and was placed on a waiting list for 14 weeks.. school told me to leave that and do this and that and they’re getting him on the toilet at school but he’s just not doing it at home .. I’m literally so overwhelmed as a mum right now and it’s getting me so emotional every day but I don’t have anyone to call or talk to about it! I truly hope myself and other mums get the help they’re needed , it’s not neglect from our end !

Our son having the same problem. Have you had any luck yet?

[@Chazza_1201]

hes now sitting on the toilet happily but still isn't doing anything. doesn't seem to matter how regularly i put him on, he still doesnt do it although the school has and is being very supportive about the matter. i hope you're having luck:)

I’m in the same boat. Nearly 4 year old holds his wee 12 hours from fear of using the toilet. I’m at my wits end

[@raanirauthaan]

Same… I don't understand anything. What should I do?

[@Chazza_1201]

@@raanirauthaan heya, he literally got up last week and decided to do it! He hasn’t been in nappies in the day time since, only at night for now… don’t lose hope, they will do it :) hope this helps x

Same problem here with my 4 year old. Now no school will take him until he is fully trained. It is so frustrating and have run out of ideas.

try giving more veggies and less carryout

Funny. This doesn't happen with kids who go to daycare.
Kids learn by example. Its always a parents failure. Do better.

[@peaterrepeater4441]

My 4 yo kid is healthy and goes to daycare since two years, yet he refuses to go to the toilet because he just doesn’t want to …
