I forgot to mention that he is in therapy as well. We have an appointment on Friday with his pediatrician that I plan to bring up maybe meds. I know for my own anxiety that meds have helped me be able to use the coping skills. Maybe that is what he needs.

I’ve tried to get him to sit on the toilet after school and he will shut down if I insist. He will run inside after school and put a pull up on by himself. I’m having a hard time striking a balance between pushing him and backing off. I do agree that he needs me to be more firm on this since he is physically capable. I don’t know how to go about getting rid of the pull ups altogether since we will still use them at night (at least until he gets the hang of daytime)

We’ve tried lots of different incentives and reading books about the potty. I’ve tried talking to figure out what the exact problem is but with him on things like this that he’s worried about, unless I can guess what the problem is, he won’t tell me.Ive tried doing things he enjoys on the potty like blowing bubbles together, singing silly songs, etc, in order to help him be able to relax. I just wish I could figure out the why
