Potty training/ all module course

NAS81075

My sons almost 5, although I have been toilet training him I want him out of pull ups, can you please advise the best options for this.

Nobody replied to my previous message on the 5 module training I want to do, if it will be beneficial to me and what’s included as the description only highlights.

    Sorry the rest of the website doesn’t always work properly for me so I don’t usually browse it. I wasn’t aware they offered courses

    The course I’m enquiring about is through this society, if people have gone through this web site then they should know what I’m asking.

    It doesn’t matter I’ll use my own intuitive.

  • Your post about the course was incredibly vague, you didn’t even say what it was teaching which is probably why there was only one reply.

    With potty training with my daughter all the time she was in pull ups she used them because they were there. She still saw it as a nappy not an alternative to knickers. We had to bite the bullet and stop using them (also at night) and then she was dry. My nephew is autistic he came out of pull ups around 5 because my brother in law had enough of cleaning him up when he did massive poos in them. He managed OK having them taken away as well, he already knew how to use the toilet

  • Hi, I had success getting my son out of pull ups by putting a folded sheet of the 'Plenty' kitchen towel inside, or you could even put a pair of pants on inside the pull up, the idea being they will be more aware of feeling wet, which many , but not all, will dislike the feeling of, you will know by their reaction hopefully if they have started to go, then you quickly take them to the toilet to finish and change.

    Then during the holidays I allowed him to just wear pants, and accepted there would be many 'accidents', and gave loads of praise when he made it to the toilet even if a bit late, I was surprised how quickly he learnt, I was lucky he didnt like the feeling of being wet.

    This was 15 years ago, my son is twenty now. He did go through a phase of purposefully wetting himself, which started in his special needs school, he must have got a reaction from someone, which he found entertaining, so he continued to purposefully wee, laughing at the same time, so for 6 months when he was about 10yrs he was back in pull ups, we managed to get him back in pants again through the summer hols, and hes been fine ever since. So one tip would be - give no reaction to accidents, and praise/rewards for success, maybe keep a sticker chart , balloons were our sons reward. Best of luck
