[quote=Anonymous]I'm losing my mind with my 3.5 year old son. We've tried a few rounds of potty training.  He didn't seem ready with a couple early attempt, but at about 2.5 years old we started Oh Crap over a weekend and he picked it up quickly on the first day. But then woke up the next day and it's been a disaster ever since. We stopped a couple times, figuring he wasn't ready, but physiologically he is. He knows what the potty is, he knows what it's for, he's able to control is bladder and bowels. He just won't use it.

I'm sure he's traumatized at this point. But I don't know what to do. Every other time we paused potty training, he was only more difficult the next go around.

When I look online, I see there are potty training consultants. But I they're either video trainings or perhaps videoconferences. I'm sure that won't work. Daycare isn't going to help- he has too many accidents for them, so they force diapers. He's completely able to hold urine for 6-8 hours. I'm not sure what happened, but he just stopped trying recently. He'll just go whenever he wants and he doesn't even care anymore.

Are there short-term nannies out there that will do potty training? I'm sure I'm going to need one for his brother, too.[/quote]
