I've read the other potty training q & a, but my situation seems to be slightly different, so I'm here to see if anyone can help!
My son is 2 and 1/2, and I've been potty training him for 2/3 weeks now, either by letting him be naked or using underwear. He tells me when he wants to go, and will sit on the potty to wee and poo. The problem I have is no matter how close I situate the potty to him, (unless it's during one of the many times I encourage him to sit on it), when he wants to pee, he can't hold on for a milisecond and just pees where he is.
He knows he wants to get to the potty and that he's doing a pee, but it's the actual control element that's missing. Is this common? Will it improve if I persevere with the potty training, or is he just not quite ready? I'm unsure whether to continue and see if his control improves, or put him back in nappies and try again in a month or two? I've found that when I do put him in a nappy now, he immediately tells me when he's peed.
