Okay so I have been potty training my 4.5 year old for about two years now. He pees on the potty just fine, no accidents (except maybe occasionally at night) but poop – never! I have tried rewards, taking away things, punishing, sympathizing, ignoring, I am ready to give up. He wears a Pull-Up to school, even though he rarely has accidents at school, but its because I can’t trust that he won’t poop in his underwear. Yes we will poop in his underwear with no second thoughts! I probably scrub a pair of underwear everyday from him because I refuse to put him in anything but underwear at home thinking it will make him uncomfortable to sit in poop – nope so far he could care less what he poops in as long as its not the potty.
The funny thing is my just turned 3 year old is pretty much fully potty trained! He wears underwear full-time while his older brother still wears Pull-Ups. I was hoping that Aidan would see his younger brother on the potty and want to compeite or be like him, but he just doesn’t care. He knows where poop goes and understands its yuck but says pooping on the potty is hard. I should also add that Aidan has limited vocabulary (he’s in speech therapy) so it is not that easy for him to explain to me what is so hard about pooping on the potty.
Please tell me I am not the only mother of a 4.5 year old who still poops in his pants! Tips?
