Potty training - anger

I’ve just started trying again with my boy and he hates the potty As soon as I say the word he just starts having a paddy ! Following for advice 😆😆

Day 1 he did great. Day 2 we were met with tantrums everytime the potty was mentioned, so we stopped and took the pressure off and said we will try again in a few weeks. Day 3 he started putting his dollies on the potty so we tried again and he would sit happily the first 4 times but wouldn’t wee. So we’ve taken it as a sign he isn’t quite ready yet despite the fact he knows when he needs to poo and wee.

The last thing we wanted to do was make him hate the potty more

We've not started it properly yet, but I will sometimes sit my little one on it for 10/15 minutes when doing a nappy change, and she's done a couple wees. But I think its more that her body done it, rather than a conscious effort on her part. She still doesn't tell us when she's had a poo, so I don't think we're ready for it properly just yet 🙈

Put the potty where she can see it and say “pee and poo goes in the potty, it’s there when you need to go” and don’t mention it again. If she has an accident clean it up and say “remember pee and poo goes on the potty” and don’t mention it again. If you go out say “have a wee on the potty and then we can go out” (do not phrase as a question) but make it a condition for leaving the house, if you’re going to the park or something they want to do it works as quite a good motivation. You can offer to read them a story or we let him watch a little bit of fireman Sam on our phones if we know my son needs to go. But take the pressure off and they’re still really little so don’t worry if it takes a while- they all get there eventually
