My nephew will be three very soon and although his mother introduced a potty to him when he was two years old, he's still in nappies. She takes his nappy off first thing in the morning and sits him on the potty/toilet then puts pants on him but by the time he's had his breakfast he's probably wet himself at least four times. It doesn't even seem to bother him when he soils himself. She'll put him on the toilet and he'll insist that he doesn't need a pee, five minutes later he wets himself. He poos everywhere and a few times he's even played with his toys in it. He's peed on her coffe table countless times and generally runs rings around her.
I can't decide whether he's lazy, naughty or if he sincerely doesn't understand. To be fair to her, she really does try, and now she's at her wits end.
Has anyone else had similar problems and if so how did you overcome them?
