Awhile back he was afraid of the toilet and peeing, until we did lots of visual stories showing how you don’t need the pee- it is the body’s trash and has to get taken out of your body just like you take out the trash. That was a relief to him. We are not there yet but making progress. Praising every time he does it right.
