Not even started my son he’s the same age but he’s autistic so communication is tough. With my oldest son I used to leave him with no nappy on, then as soon as he started to pee I’d put him on the potty and he got the idea quite quickly

No real tips I'm afraid. We tried our LB with the potty for months with zero success, then all of a sudden a couple of months ago he got really interested in the toilet. Would follow us in there, watch everything we did, then one day he just sat on the toilet and did a wee! Poos were trickier but we're just about there now. I think it really is a case of when they're ready xx

Dunno if you allow screens, but putting on their fave cartoon whilst they sit on the potty could be a good start

When you can get a week off, put them in pants and joggers they will wet themselves a lot to start with but after a few days the accidents get less and less. It took me a week for my little boy to get it at 3, he would have still been in nappies if I didn't just go for it he was just been lazy

We took a week off work and followed the “oh crap it’s potty training” book it explains things really well and is easy to follow. Xx
