[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Stop catastrophizing. Whether your kid ever potty trains doesn’t make you a failure. Of course you’re not a failure and he will become potty trained. Keep perspective. 2. Keep him in underwear. Pull ups will just make things take longer. 3. Put him on a schedule. No one has to pee every hour. Take him to the toilet or remind him every 2 hours. 4. He might be constipated. Make sure he gets enough water and fiber.[/quote] This. NO PULL UPS during the day at all. Not for car rides. Not for long outings. If you want him potty trained then treat him like he’s potty trained. Bring a change of pants for accidents. Keep prompting—it takes time to self-initiate. Don’t give attention to accidents. Just say in a neutral tone: “I see you peed in your pants. Pee goes in the potty. Please go change your pants.” Same thing every time until it clicks.[/quote]
