For the last couple of weeks he has been asking me if he can 'go wee, toilet', i didnt think much of it and said 'yes, go to the toilet, you can go whenever you want to, you dont need to ask me if its alright.' In the last couple of days he has been saying that he doesnt want to go to the toilet, that he wants to go outside or in his room. When i ask him why he doesnt want to go use the toilet, he says 'tigers in there mummy', so i go with him and say 'look, no tigers' and he goes fine. He has peed under his bed, in a toy truck, out the window(he tore a hole in the flyscreen) and in the bottom of his wardrobe(empty, thank god). He wont tell me when he has done it which is strange, because i have never yelled or punished him for accidents. He also has started to want all the lights on as he walks down the hallway to his bedroom at night, but once he is in bed he is fine with the lights off. Anybody have any advice on how to get him to use the toilet again or a clue why he wont go?

I do tell him to use the toilet and i do have a potty for him but he has never used it and wont now. I take him to the toilet whenever he tells me but he doesnt always tell me. I always sit down with him after each 'accident' and explain that it needs to be done in the toilet. He doesnt have a problem doing number 2 in the toilet it just seems he doesnt like standing with his back to the wall. He always wants to close the door when i take him so i cant see. I just need some help about how to help him use the toilet again, HELP.

Tell him that peeing anywhere other than the toilet is unacceptable. If you have to buy him a portable potty and put it in his room. Also, offer to go with him when he has to go to the bathroom so that he won't be scared. But if I were you I would make it very clear to him that it is not okay to pee anywhere other than the toilet.

God Bless you ! I hated potty training. My oldest would climb the shelf where I thought I had hidden the Pull-Ups, and change it himself ! I finally just DID NOT buy anymore, and by the grace of God, he started going to the bathroom by himself. He knew he had no other choice, I guess ?????

Spank his ass, and send him to the toilet!!
Let him know STRONGLY that the bathroom is the place for that!
