My son is 3 1/2 yrs old and is terrified of both a potty chair and a toilet. When I try to put him on either one, he screams and cries, and even gets so upset that he shakes and has even vomited. He has never had a bad experience with the potty that I know of. He says that he's scared of it, but will not tell me why. My husband and I work opposite shifts, so we are the only ones training him (no daycare). We tried making him wear big boy underwear, and he just poops and pees in them and doesn't care. He wakes up dry in the mornings, and he comes and tells me when he has peed or pooped in his diaper, but doesn't seem to care if I change him or not. Help!! We are at a loss for what to do. We have two other children (both girls) and have not had this problem before. My son seems very intelligent, but is strong-willed. He does not have any physical or mental barriers to being potty trained. Any suggestions?
