my three year old daughter can go pee but doest want to used the restroom when she has to go poo. i need some
advise. how can i train her.
I made a sticker chart for my daughter. She would get a sticker for every time she pooped in the potty. Then when she had 3 stickers, she would get ice cream. I got ice cream cone stickers so she could see her reward. Of course you could use another reward. Dollar toys are really good, too. Good luck!
Hi C., I had the same issue with my daughter now 7. When I was potty training her, she had no problems with urinating. When she needed to poop she felt like she was loosing more than just poop. What I did I would hold her hand and assure that everything was going to be okay. I stood in front of her till she finish. This method lasted about 2-3 days and then she was good on her own. Always try to explain that this is a normal process and that we all have to do it. I would also reward my daughter after each bowel movement. I hope all this helps you.
Good luck,

Hi C.,
My daughter started also going pee in the toilet and we just worked on that skill for a while. She would even ask me for a diaper to poop in. Then one day she just got it. I think it is something that they do when they are ready. I never pushed her to poop in the potty. She has been using the potty for a few months and has not had one accident. Just take it slow and it will happen. Good luck.
Here are some good tips at this blog on potty training:

Good luck and I always remember the adage "they won't go off to college in diapers!"
