This article doesn't say anything about when the stool is nice and soft, and it's plain outright defiance. We will take my child to the potty, and ten minutes later she will grin and announce she is pooping her pants. It's soft as always and gets everywhere. It's not aversion - she does it on purpose. It's BS to claim that kids always want to do what the parents expect. Although I'd love to visit that alternate dimension someday.
My child is over 3 and her preschool is about to hold her back because she won't poo in the potty. I am trying to convince her it's important and she's going to miss out if she continues to refuse. I am trying every tactic you can name. I am desperate. Something has got to work, sooner or later.

my two-year-old boy still poops wherever he pleases and we went back to the diaper for a while. I also didn't find this article very helpful considering that is the only tidbit of advice you gave and I had figured it out on my own.

Frustrated in New York, 7.3.2009

My four year old is refusing to use the potty to have a BM.
After consulting his pediatrician we are giving him a stool softner and made changes in his diet.
However, he is refusing to sit on the toilet after each meal.
This is a very frustrating situation.
I am now putting a long t-shirt on him and no underwears.
I am hoping that will react and want to use the toilet for his bowel movements.
PTC Comments:
This behaviour of refusing to sit on the toilet is referred to as nonretentive encopresis.
Please see our whole section on Encropresis, including the causes and treatement of encopersis.

I babysit my niece and she will not poop in the potty.
We have tried every method.
My sister in law recently read this and tried to revert back to the pull ups.
Well now my niece thinks she no longer needs to pee in the potty because she has on a pull up.
So for us this method didn't work as we had hoped.
