I honestly can’t remember what worked for my son. His preschool was taking him on regular 20 minute potty breaks and then he just stopped having accidents. My daughter had to lose her favorite toy for accidents. Not for long but she did have it taken away several times before she mastered #1. The total days was maybe 4 before she stopped. I caught her in her father’s office doing #2 in her pants and took her toy for a night…she knew what she was doing when she hid. She didn’t ever make that mistake again. She still had accidents with #1 occasionally but that’s to be expected. Good luck with thing number 3. I don’t envy the month ahead of you…

He could occasionally be encouraged to sit on it but not to make any kind of motion upon it despite positive reinforcement/cajoling/bribery. However once we put a special seat on the big loo, so he could be the same as mummy and daddy, he took to it like a duck to a hoy sin. Hope this helps.
