[quote=Anonymous]I don’t disagree with the “tough love” style recommendations here. but it’s just not my parenting style. so if you want the “softie” view…. disengage. do what he needs (wants?!) with as little fuss as possible. make it boring. read a book and ignore him while he goes. once you’ve dialed down the temperature for a few days, set a basket of bribes (toys, candy, whatever) in visible sight of the bathroom and tell him he can have one when he goes by himself. keep it very matter of fact. what you’re trying to do is create an incentive while removing the positive feedback of giving attention. but the more excited you get about the prize —or frustrated about the waiting— the more you dial up the stress. for both of you.
