Have you tried getting a potty seat for the toilet.. there the things with handles on the sides so they can hold on... This could give him a bit more stability and feel more comfy.. Good luck my 3 yr old just turned has the same problem, but since using the potty seat he is feelin more comfy sittin there.. cause he feels like he cant "fall in"

My son is 3 too... When i taught him to potty train he wouldn't go # 2 either.. So I told him if he would say by to his poop mommy will be very happy and i let him flush the toilet.. So even now when he poops he says bye bye poop and flushes... You just have to make it a game.. I know it sounds kinda funny but it really helped with him... Good Luck!!!

It happened the same with my kid. We tried lot of force but it didnot work. May be it is some kind of change and he is not able to logic it out. We then tried the carrot and stick (as nothing else was working ). We asked him, if he does it, we will rerward him with $5 each time. He started doing it once and then after some days of hard work from both of us, we managed a success

We had this same problem with our first. What worked for him...there was a really special toy that he wanted...we kept telling him he would get the toy when he went....we had already purchased it and had it in a closet so when the big event happened we could follow through with our promise...then one day he did it!!!! Just be patient and encouraging...it will happen!!

Is he scared of it? Sometimes little kids get scared of #2. I know it sounds weird!!! Theres actually a book called "Everyone Poops." I laughed when I saw it but I guess its helped a lot of kids with that problem. I hope it helps!

he's only 3, relax, he will master it when he is ready. Also there are physiological factors involved too. you can't push him, or rush him

Maybe he's afraid. Just encourage him.
