Daniel is yet to do poos in the toilet. Hes sneaky and will be playing outside and do it in his undies or wait until his night time nappy is on.
I don't know how to get him to do poos in the toilet. With wees hes good and very very rarely has an accident. Hes stubborn and to get him to go wees the first time I made him sit there for a long long time until he went. And from then on hes been great. I can't really do this with poos.. Any ideas? |

| We have a sticker chart but it doesn't seem to matter to him. I've even tried getting really cool sparkly stickers just for poos but he couldn't care less |

| We also have a new hairy mclary book that we have told him he can have once he does poos in the toilet and that doesn't seem to sway him either even though its an obsession with him |

Will he do it in a potty? A friend's DD is a shocking TT and she puts the potty in whatever room she is playing in, like right beside her. Its the ony way she has had any success with TT, especially number twos.
Just an idea. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I found no matter what I did I couldn't get Jack to go to the toilet when we started TT, he just seemed to hate it. I ended up putting the potty in front of the TV and every so often I would tell him to sit on the potty, he was happy to sit and watch tv until he 'went'. Could you possibly do something similar? Are his BMs regular so you know when you could get him to sit on the potty?
Also I found that chocolate buttons worked better as a reward than stickers. I very quickly managed to spread them out so he was only getting 1 a day for no accidents ------------- Lindsey

Sorry no help here as we have TT nightmare here - BUT I will say we had the wee's down pat but not the poo's then it all went to Sh#t and now we aren't getting either -
Whoops that was my little vent and realise it doesn't help you in the slightest lol 
If I crack it I will let you know what we are doing - but we have gone back to the potty for the poo's as he said he didn't like sitting on the toilet. My nephew was like Daniel and then one day he just decided he was going to do it on the toilet and has never looked back (he was almost 4) I think its getting them to do it the first few times and then the click! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

He doesn't like the potty so I can't use that. i dont' wanna try and get him sitting on that when he really doesn't like it.
For Daniel it all comes down to stubbornness, once I got him to do wees in the toilet the first time he was sorted from then on. I wish his poos were on a schedule then I could do the same but hes all over the place for them. |

could you try the diane levy method of first off getting him to poo in the correct room?
also when i had the same problem with gabriel i extended his bed time out - i found he was usually waiting till after his nappy was on and then going so we wouldnt put it on till later and get him on the toilet first. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Satcey - I don't want to speak too soon - but Rhyley IS toilet trained!! YAY - poo's as well..
What worked for is is NOT to do the soft approach - he's so stubborn (Determind if you want to use the positive word lol) and strong willed - we got kindy in on it to help us out as he started just poo'ing nad wee'ing his pants there and not caring.... So when he did it at kindy the teacher took him away from his game and kept saying it was really yucky and got him to wipe his own bum, his little friend was there so instead of telling them to leave when doing Rhyley's bottom she let him stay (they would normally give them a bit of privacy) and explained how his best friend poo's in the toilet or potty.. then when I brought him home I told him he had to clean his poo'd pants - he refused of cause - so I made him stand there and watch me while I had to do it... Next time he had to go I made him sit on the potty till he did a BIG poo... took a bit of time and alot of taking things off him (playstation, Wii , computer worked well for us and we bagan taking big boy stuff off him...) Another thing I did was I by accident brought GIRL pull ups - he would not wear it so I threatened to put them on him.... So after all that and me feeling really mean - he finallty did a big poo on the potty - big fuss made - once he did it a couple of times 'HE' decided to do poo's on the toilet and now he is quite happy to poo on the toilet.... And I tell ya - his trying behaviour has got alot better too since we all have the pressure of TT off us.... If you have any more questions just ask - I reckon with the amount of info and research plus trial and error in the subject of Toilet training I am an expert - and should have a medal - its been one longggg and very trying road - but I think we have cracked it finally! ETA: Warnign this tough approach is not for everyone can put some kids off - we tried EVERYTHING before we did this and realised it was a control thing with Rhylz being him so stubborn.... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My DD needed the right incentive (ok, bribe) to get her to go on the potty initially, and then the toilet. She doesn't get much junk food, so for her it was a whole lolly that did the trick. If he isn't moved by sticker or the HM book, maybe it's worth trying to find something that does motivate him?
This week we have had a bit of a TT regression, but we went to the $2 shop and she really wanted a Doctors kit - did the trick to get her back on track. Sounds like your boy is great with wees, so I'm sure he can get it together with poos! It's awesome once they finally master poo on the toilet! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
