What to do when your toddler is, well, taking the piss, and won’t potty train

These kids are smarter than you think. Mine is outsmarting me with this potty training malarkey. After weeks of wanting to tear my hair out after it just doesn’t seem to be sinking in, then hey presto, he hits the jackpot and goes on the potty. All by himself. Yes, a victory surely? I can finally breathe as I go in proudly to his nursery and tell them I’ve cracked it… Only for the next day for him to tell me ‘I don’t like it’ and swerve the potty. So what to do when they refuse to play ball? Bribery, begging, more Peppa Pig stickers? It doesn’t happen overnight so expect more accidents I’ve been told. I say try patience, persevere, and have a sense of humour about it because surely they’ll, er, crack it in the end.
