[QUOTE="mommabear34, post: 705891, member: 21243"] Thank you! You actually do get what I am saying here. We recently had a friend sleep over for the weekend and it was really embarrassing for him when he realized that he was the only one who still peed in a diaper. I don't want him to go through that feeling of embarrassment again. The diapers were just taken away about 2 weeks ago now and we switched to the goodnights. The incident with pouring water only happened once... I'm overjoyed to say that last night when he woke up to pee and we went to the toilet he went with absolutely NO fussing whatsoever so of course I lavished him with praise. But by morning he didn't wait until we reached the toilet... but he IS making progress and that is all I am asking of him. I'm asking him to try. I personally do not believe that taking Netflix and the computer away from a 5 year old is severe punishment. And he knows that once he's always peeing in the toilet we are taking a weekend trip to Drumheller... in a hotel where he cannot pee in the bed. And it wasn't until I said no more of his shows that he started trying... and even afterwards with everything we've been having pretty good days. So I do know that I am on the right track with him. My biggest fear for him is that he will be bullied. Not necessarily because of toiletting issues but just because he can be extremely bossy and is very particular. It is my job to teach him how he is expected to act in today's society and I take it very seriously. So I'm going to do all that I can to give him the tools he needs to be a healthy, happy, productive member of society. Even if it means I lose a little sleep for a few weeks. And in my eyes it starts with learning that even though it's harder to get up and walk to the bathroom to pee... it's worth it in the end [/QUOTE]
