I have a little boy who just turned 3. He is peeing in the potty and wearing big boy underwear. I have 2 major problems, and would LOVE some help. The first problem is he will not go pee for anyone but me (he'll go for dad but not if I am around). Yesterday I had to leave early to work and grandma woke him up. He had not peed all night long and would not pee for her at 8:oo a.m. I got home at 1:00 and he had STILL not peed. He was in terrible pain. Grandma was in tears feeling helpless. She tried everything including a diaper. How do I get my child to go for other adults?????
Second problem is he will not go #2 in potty. He is a very intelligent boy and talks in complete sentences and articulates how he feels often. I feel like he can understand the poop thing. For 2 months I have put a diaper on him (when he asks to go poop). Of course I have been talking to him about pooping in potty and we empty the poop and flush it down the toilet. I am trying not to get impatient but I am at my wits end. When your child can come to you and say, "I am ready to poop now, please put on my diaper," isn't it past time for him to be able to do this? What Can I do??? I would so appreciate any help anyone can give!}}} |

Have your child go on the potty if he says that he needs to go poop, but you might want to have a reward for pooping in the potty after. You also might want to try a chart with stickers, and have a weekly reward, or even a reward at the end of the month, if he can go poop in the potty without the diaper. For the not going potty for other adults, that is a tough one, but when he gets totaly uncomfortable, he will eventually go potty. I hope this works. Good Luck. |

My 3year old is stubborn and will not even try to potty train at all. We encourage him, reward him, read to him, remind him etc. He knows when he needs to go, but has no desire to use the potty. |

Q: Child wont potty for anyone but parents.
A: Excerpts from The No-Cry Potty Training Solutions.
Reasons Why it is happening:
1. He relies on parent prompts at home.
2. Different routines are confusing
3. Not comfortable with the bathroom
4. Too busy playing
Solutions:
1. PRACTICE each time you are there, or at different places/people to make him more comfortable with change.
2. Have a routine of potty times.
3. Set a plan with his Grandparents of when to try to go potty
4. Ask your child what will help.
5. Bring a comfort item in the bathroom with them.
6. Don't forget to make it fun!!!
Q: Wont poop in the potty.
A: You are teaching him by putting him in diapers to poop in his pants.
Please read the articles provided about bowel movement training: Pooping in Pants.
Please take the time to read at least one general books on potty training whether it is Potty Training In One Day method books, or another method. These books are great resources for you. |

Q: Child refuses to use the potty
A: What method are you using? Please review the article about the different commonly accepted potty training methods.
Try the Potty Training in One Day. In this method you will need to make a dedicated time and date to teach them how to use the potty. Just because they physically know that they need to pee/poop does not mean they understand the reason to go to the potty/bathroom, especially if you still have them in a diaper/pull-up. I strongly recommend with hundreds of moms each year to find a method, read/educate yourself, and consistently apply the method they choose. |

Desparate...My son is 3 years 5 months and has been peeing on the potty for quite a while. Pooping is another story Not only does he not poop on the potty, but he holds in his poop so he "leaks." This has been going on for so long! He's been to a pediatric gastro. dr. who suggested sticker reward for just going in his pull up but it doesn't work. He's had enimas and taken daily Miralax. The gastro dr. did an internal exam last week and was baffled because his stool wasn't hard but very soft. When he goes it's very mushy and sticky. We've now been dealing with a very bad rash to the point of bleeding. We tried the tough love approach this past weekend but he was to the point of hitting and kicking when he was put on the potty. He just stiffened his legs and crossed them and what came out was flat as a pancake. He knows when he has to go because he asks if he has a pull up on. I'm at my wits end and this is causing much tension in my house. My girls were both potty trained at 2 and a half with no problems. Please help! |
