After yesterday seemed like we’d regressed, I decided to start today by doing some more research on potty training. I wanted to see what we’d done wrong and right. All in all, we’d handled it correctly, except for getting onto him when he had an accident. The intention wasn’t to make him feel bad, but to let him know what the expectation was for him to follow. But I’m afraid the way it came across was not what we intended. Which could have been why we had some setbacks. We also tried to introduce the underwear too quickly and for too long of time. The moment we put it on him, it was like a warm familiar blanket. He relaxed, and he peed almost immediately…every time.
So today, we tried a lot more patience. We left him naked a lot more. We didn’t make a big deal if he peed in his underwear (the few times he had it on). We tried to be more conscientious about asking him to go try to pee once an hour. And we tried to incorporate potty training into the normal stuff that we’d be doing in a weekend, so he didn’t feel like things were drastically different.
