| Does anyone have any advise on how to get my 3yr old son to poop in the potty instead of his underware. I've done just about everything I can think of but he just won't go. |

I'm going through the same thing right now, but my 3-yr-old boy will poop on the floor next to his potty, but he will not sit on the potty to poop. I've tried explaining to him that Daddy also sits on the potty, but he still will not sit. I also am not sure what to do. Anyway, you are not alone Kim!
Good luck

It is scary for them to know that this stuff is coming out of them.. And to sit on the potty is even scarier.
GREAT VIDEO TO GET ON LINE CALLED "IT'S POTTY TIME".. It potty trained my daughter.. Now, my 3 yr old son was doing good for a while, but now he has no intrest in sitting on the potty, so we are going to order this video again! Good luck to everyone. |

I know some one that went through the same thing and she said all it took was moving her son up to the next class in preschool. He didn't want to be the only one not going on the potty, he was done pooping in his underwear with in 2-3 days I think.
It something to try. I am going to be there in not to long with my daughter and I am hoping she will have it down before our baby is born is Aug.
Good luck and I hope you find something that works. |

This was not a fun way to do it, but... My son pooped in his pull-up twice while we were out. He refused to admit to it so I let him live with the consequences. Of course after about twenty minutes he had a pretty good diaper rash going. The third time that happened, I repeated (for the 700th time) that pooping yourself was a great way to get ouchies on your bottom, and after that he has ALWAYS gone in the potty. Won't pee in the potty, but absolutely will not poop anywhere else.
I cringe to admit to this, since it was NO FUN for anybody, but when I told my pediatrician about it she agreed that sometimes they won't believe anything but natural consequences. Hope you find a less painful solution. |

You Know I am in te middle of poty training my lil girl which is 3 as well I know there is a difference between the sexes but I have been trying to potty train her for 2 years since se started to walk and she is just now getting the hang of it all because she wanted to sit on the regular potty!
Now with the poop on the potty All i do is wait untill she tries to hide( she likes to hide to go poo poo) well when she is behind the chair or standin ehind omething that's my cue we run to bathroom by making it a game who can get to the potty the fastest and she then can't stop it because she has already started to try and go.
Now i dont know if He hides to go but try making ita game and if he goes give him a special treat like a sticker for his potty chart everytime he goes poop let him have any stickerhe wants to put it on the chart !!!!
9 times out of 10 if you make it a game They think it's fun and will want to do it again and try to figure out what his schedule is what time he normally goes!!!!
Hope This helps if not it might just help someone else |

| Tamra - my little girl is 22 months almost and we have been potty training for 2 wks now and the pooping thing i haven't even touched this time around but as for peeing i let her run around naked and she knows when she has to go. we have only had one accident and it was the first or second day and it was because she just got to far from her potty chair. we started the frist time when she was 14 months and she went a wk pooping in the potty and not in her diaper but she wouldn't pee in the potty, not it is the other way around. funny huh! oh well, i know she is still young and the rest will come i am just hopeing that will be before i am due in aug. |

| Cindy: I've thought about doing exactly what you did several times but have yet to try it because I thought it would make me sound or feel like a mean or crappy parent. But I'm really glad to see i'm not the only parent who has wanted to do the same thing. Thank you for your story. |

| I did and do feel like a mean, bad parent having done it, and I wouldn't admit it very frequently, but nothing else was working and he really was being very resistant about it. Both times I caught him in the act and said "Why don't we go to the potty? Are you poopy? Shall we change you?" Both times he screamed at me, put his hand in my face and said "NO!! Don't talk to me!" I think he was embarrassed because he knew he could do better and didn't want to admit what had happened. I didn't want him to suffer, but I think sometimes they kind of have to (when you know you can patch it up pretty well). But thank you for the supportive response. How many times do we make choices as parents that we wish could be done with a lot less heartache (and bottom-ache)? |
