My 6 year old son will not go to the toilet on his own. Despite encouragement he insists on somebody pulling his trousers down and “aiming” for him. There is no physical reason why he cannot do this. Does anybody else have a similar problem and any suggestions / tips to help make him more independent in this respect?
Hi george
As well as all the great suggestions made already you might want to have a look at our article on toilet training. Most of it will be things you've clearly already dealt with but there could be some tips in there that may help.
