My LO is 2.5 years young and not yet potty trained. He cries his brains out every time I try to make him sit there. Nowadays, he doesn't give me signs that he is about to poop even. I just find out and I feel like time has passed.He understands a few commands so far (counts well, does his ABCD, colors, animals etc) so not sure what I am doing wrong. I plan to send him to nursery come April and I am trying to see how I can him call for potty.

Potty training can be challenging and stressful for the child and the parent. Potty training should be fun and celebrated. The child may not be quite ready to potty train. It may be worth taking a break and coming back to potty training. It would be worth scheduling a visit with the child's healthcare provider to check for any issues that may make potty training challenging.
