My son just turned three and we have tried the potty training thing so many times and so many ways. Finally we were on the right track and he did really good at home with no accidents, but wore a diaper at night time. Well the past 5 weeks he has had 3 ear infections and the flu right now. Since he started getting sick, he just lost interest completely and I have not pushed the issue, because he has been so sick. But we are back to diapers full time. What should I do?

You are doing the right thing by not pushing. Its not uncommon for kids to revert when they are ill or there are big changes in their routine, etc. Once he's feeling like himself again, do a refresher course with him and he may surprise you by getting right back on track.
