My daughter is 27 months. she is Completley dry. Even when we go out she stays dry. she tells me when she has to go potty. My issue is getting her to poop in the potty. She tells me she has to go but when we get there she cant. she goes poop only once every couple days and it always ends up in her undies. She only wears a pull-up at night. If she poops in her undies i take her to the potty and show her the poopoo goes in the potty. I just dont know what else to do.
thank you for your advice. We do read books and play with toys well she is on the potty. I have also let her watch me. i just need to be patient. thank you so much.
have you tried taking books and small toys in there for her. Maybe reading while she sits there will give her time to get her job done. If you talk and play with her, she won't feel it is a punishment.
My daughter was three and a half before she would go to the potty in the potty. I tried for a year to get her to go but she stubbornly refused! She finally decided she was ready and luckily did everything at once. She was really good at holding it as well. One thing that worked for me was a sticker chart. They have these ones made by Disney that create a picture when you are done. She loved it and it worked! She still has to wear a pull up at night but is getting closer to keeping her panites all the time. Just a couple more dry wake ups and she shoud be good to go!
Getting the pooping part down is always the hardest, especially if she is holding it. If she is holding it than she knows where she needs to be going, she just is scared probably. My daughter was like that. Just keep positivly reinforcing her and she will get it!! Sounds like you are on the right track already!! Good work!!

A., I think she is on her way,maybe she is not ready yet. I think she will get there. My daughter will be three in July. We have good days and some with accidents. Just hang in there. Good luck
I tried with gummy bears to get her to do it in the potty. Plus I also let her watch me.
I told my daughter she would get a "poo-poo" present when she went in the potty. I'm all for rewards if it helps! She went poo-poo in the potty and she got the surprise I had gotten in advance. It took her a while longer to do that than pee in the potty.
