Oh my goodness I don’t know if this has made me feel worse or better .. I have a 4 year old boy who’s just started school still in pull-ups .. been trying to get him toilet trained for 2 years .. rang the health visitor quite a few times and was told to abandon everything I’ve tried and keep him in nappies and was placed on a waiting list for 14 weeks.. school told me to leave that and do this and that and they’re getting him on the toilet at school but he’s just not doing it at home .. I’m literally so overwhelmed as a mum right now and it’s getting me so emotional every day but I don’t have anyone to call or talk to about it! I truly hope myself and other mums get the help they’re needed, it’s not neglect from our end !

Same problem here with my 4 year old. Now no school will take him until he is fully trained. It is so frustrating and have run out of ideas.

Consistency is key but you have to stick to it.

Funny. This doesn't happen with kids who go to daycare.
Kids learn by example. Its always a parents failure. Do better.
