PLEASE..ADVICE - 3 year old son refuses to use potty --HELP

Crystal

My son is 3..actually close to 4 in a few months. He knows how to potty and has done both (#1 and #2) in the potty. He just refuses to and only does it when he wants to himself. He is very stubborn about it. Has anyone else had this happen?..

I would take away diapers, but I also have another son younger than him in the same size diapers.

On top of that -- I lost my brother recently and am highly depressed and am trying to find the motivation to get it done. He just refuses and then as soon as I put the diaper on he pees.

I've tried the reward program, taking away things, none of it worked. He is very strong willed and just refuses.

Any advice would be very helpful, and I'd be very grateful ❤
