Both my older DD's were 3 or just over. Was not happening no matter how I tried before then. DS spent a lot of time naked. Then when he'd wee I noticed he like to wee on things so I made a game of it & got him to wee on a rock in the garden, or ants or something. Worked for him, lol. He was trained by about 2.5.
DD3 just clicked by herself. Before 2.5 she started, in the last 2 months or so the only accidents have been while strapped into the car on long trips. Still night nappies though.
If he doesn't want nappies, can you try MCN pull ups? They are undie style so look less like nappies. DS decided out of the blue at Xmas that he'd only poo on the toilet (2y8m), but it wasn't until March that he tried to wee on there...pretty much trained in two days. I just showed him his undies and told him occasionally that whenever he wanted to try weeing on the potty/toilet, he could. And when he got good at it, he could wear undies instead of nappies. No pressure though. He now wears undies at night too, but has had an occasional accident overnight....
My opinion...Leave the potty/toilet seat out, remind him that he can try whenever he wants, let him see you go, but otherwise, put him back in nappies til he's ready. No pressure. Ignore day care.
DS has just decided in the last 3 weeks that he wants to use the toilet. took an accident a day for a couple of days until he got it. then it took another week to work out to poo in the toilet. but during this whole time he has remained dry at night for 3 weeks with only 1 accident. if he wakes during the night he even ass to go. I say put him back in nappies until he is ready. he doesn't sound ready. so frustrating. I think toilet training is by far the hardest thing we can do as parents. I agree with the others though. maybe pull ups during the day if he wont go back in nappies
