    he is 'ready', just can't be bothered.

    We get this issue with my disabled son. He is 4 but the size of a 6 year old. Whenever he gets it right he gets chocolate - but still cant get it together. We having potty traing DVD and books - but no avail.

    Our council is one of those that provide free nappies to the over 4's. That should save us £10 a week - not that it saves us clearing up the mess.

    I have always found gin effective. Either on the kids or yourself.

    IIRC you have to tell him what a clever boy he is.

    Edit: oh, no that's the big toilet.

    It gets quieter when you send them to boarding school aged 7.

    You mean Dull Versus Spirited.

    I understand.

    It's useful if you can recruit some "Santa's helpers" - perhaps pigeons are "Santa's birds" - or even a house spider who might be watching you even if you can't see him.
