Balancing independence with reality
Kid is partially potty trained. For the past year, he’s been doing the number 2 in the toilet. He knows it and says he wants to go. But for the past 3 weeks now, he’s been quiet. All he does is go in his diapers/underwear.
We keep asking, do you want to go, etc.
He keeps saying no.
But after literally 15 seconds, he’d grunt and by the time we reach him, he’s done.
In the times we notice he’s starting, we carry him to the potty and he just keeps saying no no no.
Sometimes he just sits. Does nothing. Asking him over and over. Then after standing up, cleaning and all that, he plays for like two minutes and goes.
Any advice? Is this just a “regression” and part of the journey?
