Potty Train Started Out Well, Now There are Issues

Question

I have been toilet-training my two sons at the same time according to the Naked and 75 method (23 months and 35 months) and by day 5, they had no accidents. We used the potty bell and gated off the main living area. I thought things were going well; however, now my 23 month-old refuses to sit on the potty anymore (day 7--after three accident-free days). The child literally went from being proud of his ability to potty to refusing to sit, with no obvious cause. I'm unsure of how to proceed. He refused to go for 6 hours last night and of course wet the bed at night. I don't want this to be a power struggle, perhaps training with his older brother out too much pressure on him? He did act a little frantic and scared when he sat on the potty at first, perhaps he is afraid of something now? Regardless, I need advice on how to proceed. Thanks.
