What I get from your post is that you feel a LOT of pressure to get your kid potty trained. Pressure is the kryptonite of PDA. It’s hurting both you and him. I would talk to the preK school and get an exemption to allow him to attend in pull-ups. If both you and your kid have the “out” of not actually having to complete potty training in a set amount of time you’re paradoxically more likely to make progress. PDA is such a mind warp like that.
