My little guy knows how to use the potty. I've shown him, and he understands well. He is very intelligent, but also incredibly stubborn. When I tell him he needs to get out of pull-ups, he gives me this list of reasons why he can't do it until 'tomorrow'. I've tried offering him treats to go, and he literally looked at me and said "it's not worth it." I also really want a dog, but so does he, so I told him we would get one as soon as he gets trained. So now he's brushing that off as well. We are at a stand off.
I can't force the child to go, but i've had it with changing diapers. Plus, he needs to be ready for school next year, and i'm all panicked that he still won't be trained.
Any ideas? Has anyone else had a boy who's nearly 5 that's not trained? I'm so afraid this will go on forever!
btw, I discussed this with a dr, he was the one who gave me the treats idea. Other than that he said just to wait until my son 'comes around'. I'd rather not. Please help!
