Potty Training - Crestview,FL

I went thru this with my daughter.

What i did was we went to wal-mart and i asked her "what toy do you like the most here" she showed me and i bought it and when i bought it i told her that if she would go #2 in the potty 7 times in a row that i would give it to her.
she was so happy, she worked real hard but she made a mistake one time. I told her that she was doing a great job and that i was so proud of her, but mommy needs it to be 7 times in a row. She tried again and she did it and she got the toy that she wanted.

that worked for us. It might work for you.
dont give up it takes time.

We had this problem with our son and tried so many different things without success. Then our dog went poo on our floor. When my son saw me cleaning it up he said "eww,yucky". I just looked at him and said, "yes, it's yucky, just like your poo". He started using the potty for poo that day and we never had another issue with it.

I had the same problem with my son. I would take the diaper or underware that had the poop and had my son come to the bathroom with me and I would dump the poop in the toilet and say "bye bye poopie!" and dance around like we were having a celebration singing the bye bye poopie song. I know that sounds crazy, but worth a try.

I have 2 boys & 2 girls....Both of my boys were the same way. Though I have to say my youngest (who is now 2 1/2) was much easier. He has been completely potty trained for the last 6 mos. At first I thought we were going to have the same problem as my oldest. But, I decided we were going to make a big deal out of it when he pooped in the potty. I clapped, did a celebration dance and had him go tell everyone in the house (especially dad) that he had pooped in the potty. Of course everyone gave him similar congrats. He has no problem with it at all now. My oldest was a little more difficult, but he came around before he was 3. They are all different and do things in their own time...just be patient, always encourage and don't make a big deal out of an accident...he'll get it!

My son was like 3-3 1/2 until he pooped in the potty. It was frustrating but I just let it come naturally. Then when he got it he got it good and he is 9 now and has had maybe 5-6 accidents (wet) since then maybe once a year or so. Just be patient mommy! I think that it is a comfortability issue as well. My son would always kinda hide when he pooped in his diaper it was too funny but it all works out EVENTUALLY! lol Good Luck and just love that baby cuz he wont be one for long. Pressure him too much and he might regress.

my son is now two and a half and as crazy at it sounds this is what i did. first of all you need to do this on the regular potty (with water in it) put him on the potty either when you think he needs to poop or when you realize he is trying to go, tell him and coach in in making the red faced grunting noise that an old man might make trying to go. (they think it is funny)tell him to make the noise with you tell him to push really hard when he makes that grunting noise and keep doing it. (the first time i didn't tell him i was trying to make him poop). if and when he does finally get a poopy out if it make a sploosh sound make a surprised face and say oh wow what was that?...take him off the toilet and have him look into it and say what is that? look what you did...cool! good boy! make a big deal about it laughing and dancing and give him kisses and candy and whatever else you want to do. keep that up for a while...my son still makes the grunting noise everytime he goes.
good luck
and let me know if it works

We had to give our three year old a little piece of candy every time he went poop and we made a big deal about what
a big boy he is for going on the potty. Smartee's candy is
good cuz you can just give them two or three little pieces.
Motivation is the key. Once you find something he wants bad
enough, use it to your advantage. The first time Zach went
poop all by himself, we gave him a Thomas train.
Best of luck,

What if you put that monster truck up where he can see it and don't let him have it until he poops on the potty? Put it on a high shelf. I really think that will work

my oldest daughter was the same way, it is a stage, about 2 hours after eating put him on the potty, he may regress with pee peeing once he start pooing on the potty. first she wouldn't do number 2 on potty then she wouldn't pee pee on the potty she finally got it all figured out, time him from the time he eats to the time he has a BM then make sure to put him on the potty at those times.

My son is 4 and we still have this problem. Bribing with candy and toys has not worked for us. I don't even clean him up any more, he cleans up himself. My pediatrician says it's a power struggle and that one day he'll just decide to start going in the potty. For now, I put a diaper on him in the evening and he goes in that before bedtime. It' frustrating, but again, my pediatrician told me not to get frustrated, just let it be what it is. He starts school in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping that will encourage him to poop in the potty. Good luck with your son! I hear boys are much harder to train.

Take him shopping for big boy underwear with the character that he really loves and "must have"

Then explain to him that you will only buy them if he does not poop in them because if he does, you'll have to throw them away. That worked with my son.

Also telling him how proud you are of him that he pees in the potty like a big boy might make him wanna please you more by doing another step like pooping in the potty. They love to please mommy.

A little trip for a treat from the dollar store wont hurt either if he agrees to poops in the potty.
