Strong willed 3yo, does this sound like a good plan?
We have been in the thick of it for over 6 months, kiddo turned 3 in May. I am planning on taking all pull-ups away and using puppy pads on the bed as he waits for the nap/night pull up to relieve himself. I’ll need to use miralax so he doesn’t get constipated.
I’ll try to catch him in the moment so he stops associating the feeling of being covered with releasing pee/poo. Instead of bribes (don’t work) taking things away until he sits or goes on the potty. Ie- can’t leave the house to do fun stuff, can’t have treats or tv until we’re going on the potty.
Does this sound right for my strong willed kiddo?
We have a 2.5 week vacation coming up in a month. I know the pull ups are what are holding us back, but I really don’t see him being ready for travel in a month.
I think it will be a wait and see sort of thing? With maybe a pull up over underpants on the plane and bus ? Or museums?
In the past I’ve had to go back to pulls ups during outings because I was loosing my mind and really not in a good place. We were pant-less at home for a week and have done this multiple times. I’m lucky to have the time, I just need some camaraderie and support to feel less alone in this.
I’m at the point where I’m redoing my bathroom so it’s a nicer place to hang out, he has a potty watch, a chart of steps, potty steps/seat, a small living room potty, what am I missing ? 😅
