Answer 1

Mine too. I read Potty Training for dummies and I talk about this everyone who will listen. We have a big present for our daughter sitting high on a shelf and she knows it is her poop in the potty present! It hasn't worked for us yet, but maybe it would for you. (Our daughter does not pee all the time yet either)

Try to keep your calm and tell her no touch dirty. The best you can, stop everything you are doing when she poops, and take her to the bathroom to wash up.

I've also read that you should try to get your kid to poop in the bathroom, regardless of it is in their pants or the potty! So don't let her poop under the table or behind the curtains.

This is tough. My niece is going through this. She is nearing 3 and is still not very consistent with poop in the potty. Pee, yes. Poop, no. Sometimes, but far from always. I think it's because it's a different sensation and it's harder to bear down on the potty and so they don't like doing it there. (?) It could also be that she just isn't ready for that yet. Wish I had a success story to share... but at least I can empathize. I babysit my niece during the week and I know what a pain it is to deal with the poopy toddler hands. Best wishes.

Does your child remain dry for intervals of two hrs or longer during the day? The is the time from some potty Training and to get the ideal consequence in only 3 days you will require this manual https://tr.im/RCiKO

Start Potty Training is a plan that quickly acquired recognition. The gist of this program is that you take away all diapers, put on underwear, and don’t ever revert back to diapers.
Start Potty Training is a pretty straightforward program, straight forward and simple to stick to.

First it would be good to make her wear the pull ups. When she protests tell her why she has to wear the pull ups. Only if she is a big girl and goes poopoo on the potty can she wear her panties again. Also give praise and treats when she does. If you see her hiding like she's going poopoo, I know my kids did that, catch her quick and sit her on the potty until she poops.

Wow, this sounds so familiar! We just went through this with or daughter! What finally worked for us was sitting her on the potty (for 2 hours) and taking turns sitting in the bathroom with her. (My mom was a huge help on this bc we were at her house.) We told our daughter that we were gonna sit on the potty until she went poopy! It wasn't easy but she finally relaxed and went! And we haven't had a poopy panties accident since. It was HARD to make her sit there for that long but all I can say is that it worked!
We also tried to use a treat (a big incentive... for us a Dora Popsicle worked bc she LOVES Dora the Explorer!) So after she was going for about a week, afterwards we would reward her with a Dora Popsicle. She doesnt even ask for them anymore! Just a couple of ideas... Hope you find it helpful!

Hi,
Going through the same thing with the two year old. Mine pee's on the potty but wont poop. I think we are making head-way however... Mine poops & then will ask to be changed. So, yesterday he came & asked to be changed so I told him he was a big boy & pooping in pants is what babies do. I took him in the bathroom & put him into the tub removed his clothing except his pull-up & told him he had to take that off because he pooped in it. I had him "help" take it off & showed him the poopy & asked him if he wanted that on him, he did not. I told him for now on if he poops in his big boy pants he has to help clean up. He did not like that idea,,,he held it today at daycare but had an accident on the way home. I just matter of factly put him in the tub & told him the same thing again & had him help clean up. He told me afterwards that was yucky he wanted to try poo poo in the big boy potty!! He goes to in home daycare so we both going to stick to the same method & pray!
Does yours mind if she gets poop on her? She may be sticking her hand down there to try & get rid of it? Good luck.

With my son, he was potty trained soon after turning two, but wouldn't poop in the potty for months after! He seemed to be scared. He'd wear big boy underwear until he had to poop. He'd tell me he had to poop, I'd put a diaper on him, he' poop, and I'd change it. One day instead of putting a diaper on him I sat him on the pot amidst his cries and resistance. After that I praised him up and down and gave him lots of candy (his hot button). Everytime after that I'd remind him that he could have a treat if he pooped in the potty until eventually it was normal for him. I know some people disagree with that, but it worked for us!! And yes, he stopped asking for a reward soon after it became regular.

Figure out a way that gives her an incentive to poop in the potty rather then her pants. My friend bought little penny figurines for her son and he got one when he pooped in the potty. One mom I know did the star chart, and when he got one star he'd get a treat of his choice, then he had to do two stars to get something, etc. And give her negative reinforcement when she puts her hands in it; take away something she really loves for a few minutes, but be loving about it in a "I'm sorry that was your choice, and here are the consequences" attitude.

Good luck!!

My 4 twelve months previous does an analogous factor regardless of the certainty that he isnt in diapers in any respect in view that he doesnt have a project with peein interior the bathroom yet he poops maximum appropriate next to it rather of in it. My well-being practitioner stated 20 minutes after nutrients taking him in there and sitting him backwards on the bathroom this way you could positioned issues on the decrease back of it to distract him like toys a puzzle something. Its assisting a sprint yet its a great variety of artwork... besides the incontrovertible fact that it specific beats figuring out on up crap off the floor.

Answer 9

Why not go straight to the toilet? Let her watch you go. then go buy a seat to go on the toilet with nice pictures on. My first son didnt bother with the potty stuff just went straight to the toilet. Also i dont think kids liek to be watched whilst on the potty, pu tit in the bathroom, give her a book and say come and get me when you've been. But if she doesnt know she is going to poop shes not ready yet.

Answer 10

you have to keep working with the child and every time he or she poops in her pants are underwear you very lightly spank them onthe behind and then set the child onthe potty and tell them this is where you go potty at and every time you have to go pee pee or poo poo then you go to your potty and if you dont then i will have to spank you and daddy or mommy dont want to do that so when the child goes potty you reward him or her with a snack treat or a candy or something like that and when you see him or her going to the potty you say all right there you go you gote it and good job son or daughter so and make them glad that they did the right thing so i hope this helps and god bless thanks for reading this................
