toilet
Any ideas how to stop Rhys being so scared of the toilet? He turned round the other day when I asked him if he wanted to sit on the toilet like Mummy and he said he didn't like it, it was scarey and had scarey monsters in it. We've tried his own little seat on it but he will not go near it.
He's started being scared of lots of things at the minute too. We had trouble getting him to bed a few nights this week as he kept crying that the spider would come into his bed. I had to show him there were no spiders and tell him that his fave teddy wouldn't let any spiders come into his bed. He normally LOVES spiders andeven though I hate them I've always hidden it from him as I don't want him picking up on it.

I can't put a link because I'm on my phone but have you looked at on target max potty training balls, they're antibacterial smiley faces that bob in the toilet and is meant to help train Los to aim etc, might make the loo look more fun, I looked on eBay under 'loo balls' lol, might work
He is also so clingy to me right now, wont let me go anywhere without him x
Becci I do think its a stage Holly was like that a few weeeks ago and seemed to be scared of everything but she is fine now. If anything we have the opposit trouble and she has to go in every toilet she can see!
I'd love to get rid of the potty he's so independant he wants to empty the potty himself and goes mad when we try and help[ so usually end up with wee everywhere.
So I guess we were harsh but it worked!
