Help for my sister!

[Muffy]

Hi Girls,
My sister asked me to post for her, need some advice from you wonderful ladies

She is currently TT her DS who is 3 (4 in Jan) and everything is going fantastic EXCEPT he will NOT poo on the toilet. she has tried everything and is starting to get a bit frustrated with it all!!

Any suggestions?

patience! lol he will do it.
its frustrating but he wont be pooing his pants when he's 20

hehe thats what i tried telling her, shes been TT for about 6 months now and he's off to kinder next year!

Its not uncommon. Lots of kids who wil go to the loo/potty will want a nappy on for poo. Not sure why. DS didnt, BUT he did used to get scared when he had to poo on the potty.

my dd used to wait till her night nappy was on and do her poo in that
in the end i put a nappy in her potty and she pooed on the nappy in the potty and that got her going
it will happen- just sometimes takes time

I have little suggestions because I'm having difficulty tt ds, but i have cought him 3 times doing the little grunt and whisked him off to the loo, and he has followed through, then rewarded him, he still wont tell me he neds to go though

I would stand in the hallway opposite to the toilet door that was opened with DD sitting on toilet and i would look and sound excited (for her sake) and say to her " Lets do this poo together " ... then we would count together to 3 and then i would say " Push, push push yeh push that poo out, come on poo out you come yehhhh " ... until it came out ! Sometimes i would seriously feel like a crap after it myself, lol ... It was like going to battle in some war but was so worth it. Only i would have to mix up the ' sayings ' sometimes to keep the excitement

Also those rewards charts worked a treat, i would put a smiley face sticker for poo's and a star sticker for wee's (we would always put the sticker on the chart straight after the loo event so it's fresh in her mind) and when she got 10 stickers of either she would get a little gift, i would store in the cupboard gifts wrapped in cheap tissue paper, no gift ever over $2 ... sometimes i think she was more excited about the accomplishment of getting 10 stickers in a row than the actual gift.

Good-luck with TT for your sister's sake, it's not always as easy as we think until we get there but gladly the pattern does change and out of the blue all can come good out of it when you least expect it too
