Our daughter started potty training right before she was 2, and took to it pretty easily. I know boys tend to be more of a challenge, but we're just not sure what to do at this point.

Our son started potty training around 2 y 2 months, and it started off going well. He was bottomless at home and mostly doing well. Unfortunately because he's also in preschool/daycare, he was coming home with 1-3 soiled sets of clothes a day. As 2 months wore on, he kept having more and more accidents. If he's wearing anything down there, he would just say "it's a diaper enough" and wasn't even telling us.

So, we're in a reset. He's back in diapers, and for the first few days he would still tell us when he needs to go, but now he's stopped doing that. At this point I'm worried that this reset has caused him to care even less when we start back up (in about 2 weeks).

Any similar experiences? Ideas?

Not a dad, but I'm a parent and had my own daycare for a decade. If you want to keep up with the training, accidents are likely to happen, although you could try having your kiddo sit and try to go every hour, to try and avoid accidents. Is this feasible for the school to do too? I'd keep the training at home and school as similar as possible, so wear bottoms at home as they're required at school. Just my two cents though. Best of luck!
