i must add at this point, that he is three and a half. in the last month, after a lot of training, my son can now go out, wearing pants, without my having to change wet trousers etc. he is confident enough to use a toilet to wee but he still needs the potty for doing a pooh, he can go at home,at his grandparents house and at play school, but he is absolutely terrified of public toilets. he went to a holiday club last week and he went to toilet 3 times on their big playing field - and he did both!
i feel bad because i believe that i haven't taught him properly, but i feel more for him, because it upsets him when he can't do a wee etc, wherever he is. today, he stood in the middle of the shopping centre and did a wee. i need to know how i can deal with this properly. the cleaner at the centre told me that most little ones are afraid of the toilets, because of the noisy hand-dryers. i understand this - he has always been scared of loud noises - he still doesn't like the vaccum cleaner!
