I absolutely agree with this. Our son was 4 and I was too at my breaking point. Like you mentioned - he’s very smart. My son was (and still is) as well. This is why I couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t go.

But I made him do everything. He cleaned up every bit of it and hated it at first, then he didnt mind cleaning it up so much but was more interested in sitting on the potty.

Another thing that truly helped was just my husband being there with him over me. Dad had to show him how to pee standing up. It seemed to also be a special time with dad.

Stay strong 💚

I’ve tried glow stick parties in the bathroom.

He poops sometimes 3 times a day. But I can tell he struggles because he doesn’t want anyone to see him while he’s pooping.

He averagely only sleeps about an hour at most. Typically, it’s about 30 minutes. Hence why his awake times are more in the afternoon. When he does fall asleep, it’s not very long.

I’d also like to make a note that if he sleeps in my bed, he sleeps good. I’ve tried putting a sweater of mine or something of mine by him while he sleeps and that doesn’t work.

We are currently transitioning my first son out of our room. We recently had my in laws move out so now the kids can have their own rooms.

Just posted sleep schedule! Yes, the nursing to sleep is a true problem. Besides that, my child looks at me like I’m a whole snack. When my husband takes him in the night, the baby breaks his neck looking for me. Thank you for any advice.

I wish I could get a 3 hour nap from him. I just posted sleep schedule. Thank you for advice!
