Jelly tots - one for a wee two for a poo - works like a charm!

I would seriously suggest going on MN and searching for potty/ toilet training threads. There are loads of them, stuffed full of good advice. FWIW my younger dgs at 3.6 was trained in four or five days and graduated within that time to using the toilet - the potty we had bought to use here never was.

I would suggest one of those potties that play music or applaud when they perform but at three and a half he should be using the big toilet with a training seat.
It is all well and good to say when he is good and ready but it is not socially acceptable to pee on the floor.
Reward chart perhaps, a sticker for a wee in the potty and a gift after N number of stickers.

Following the head of Ofsted's complaints today that so many children are starting school unable to speak properly, dress themselves or use the loo, I am despairing of one of my grandsons, age 3 1/2, who absolutely will not countenance getting out of nappies. My daughter has tried just about everything: left him naked (he just pees where he stands), bought him spiderman pants etc. (he puts them on over his nappy), tried putting him on the potty (he just gets off it), and so on. My daughter has always said, quite rightly, that he'll do it 'when he's ready', and I know that trying to force the issue can be completely counterproductive, but time is marching on and I'm just wondering if anyone has any brilliant suggestions!
