Going number one is always the easiest. My Dr. told me that some kids are afraid of going number two in the toilet b/c they think they are losing something like a finger or whatever and it freaks them out. Give her a small cup of straight apple juice and sit her on the potty, so you know when she is going to be going number two, if she does go in the potty make a really big deal about it tell her she's such a big girl, clap for her, and it will make her want to go next time and make a big deal again and again until she is completely trained. But don't ever get mad or yell at her if she goes in her panties, just keep reminding her she needs to go in the potty. It's a process but she will get it eventually, just make sure you reward her every time even for going number one. Ask her if she has to go throughout the day. Just don't put the pull-up back on except for at night if she doesn't wake up. Just hang in there it will happen when she's ready.

All children are slower to poop in the potty than they are to pee in the potty. The reason is that they feel like poop is a part of them and they feel like they are losing a part of them when they poop in the potty. They don't feel this way when they poop in a diaper, I'm not sure why. So, pooping in the potty scares children. Give her some time, she'll start soon.

If you're not expecting company, let her walk around with nothing on her bottom. (no pull-ups,no underware). Put a training potty somewhere nearby, like the living room, or the playroom. Tell her she can't wear her big girl underware until she poops in the potty. Maybe she's just intimidated. So if you see her starting to poop, immedaitly set her on the training potty. Encourage her during and praise her after.

My daughter is doing the same. I have noticed that she runs and hides when she's going to poop, and then...well...you know the rest. Keep an eye on her, especially in the morning. When she leaves your sight, go find her. Praise her a lot for going to the potty too. And what helped with my son was making him clean out his own shorts in the toilet. Pretty soon he figured out it was gross and didn't want to do it anymore.

we broke down and had to give our 3 year old "potty chocolate" every time she went #2 in the potty. We also clap and make a big deal out of it. We tell her to wave bye bye to her poop and flush the toilet.

Give her a few little marshmallows whenever she goes #2... she'll be excited to go! I haven't personally been there yet but it's coming soon... the potty training a toddler that is. :)

for my 3 yr old... i uses miniture kisses (hershies) I would have a bowl in the hall closet for everytime she made a stinkie".. she would get 2 hershies kisses. she loved em her fav candy. find something she really really likes... if its Dora get stickers... also... this will sound dorky but it REALLY REALLY works., Everytime she poops in the potty... even if its a weee bit.... jump up and down and really over exaggerate the excitement with clapping hands and telling her whata big girl and good job really good over and over and over... only give her the treats if she poops though. She will exoect ya to hand her out some everytime she pees as well... just explain to her its only for poopies. if she throws a tantrum step over her and walk away as if you dont even hear her. If you give her attention while shes angry and hissy fitting.. she feeds off that and will become a habbit. award good behavior constantly ... IT REALLY REALLY WORKS!!

Keep her in diapers...she's not potty trained yet. When you take her to the toilet to pee leave her on the toilet for a few minutes. Sooner or later it will all come out. But don't be putting her in underwear when she is CLEARLY not ready for underwear.
