IN REPLY TO: 4 year old refuses to poop in potty HELP!!!
AUTHOR: tbugsmom
My son was the same way for the longest time. He's been sucessfull with out any accidents for the last six months, and he just turned 4. I had tried everything. I tried making him sit on the potty for 10 minutes every hour. I tried giving him games to play but only when we were on the potty. I tried just about everything under the sun! Well. Finally I read in a toodler book, to let them make the goal. Don't force her. Do make her sit til she goes or like I did for 10 minutes every hour. Just put her in a diaper and say nothing to her. Every once in a while you can say maybe Sweetie if you want to make a potty break just let me know. I did that with my son. I said to my husband. Lets not say anything. Let him tell us. We said nothing at all about the potty to him for like 2 weeks, and that is when he started going for us. Both pee and poop in the potty. See he would pee in the potty but not poop, and then for awhile he would poop in the potty and not pee. So I just made him wear a daiper. He wanted his big boy underware and I told him no. Not until you use the potty all the time. Best of luck.
