Potty Trainning Help - Laguna Hills,CA

I think it's very common that they master #1 before #2. Explain that poo is waste from the food we eat and all of the vitamins are out of the food now. Tell him it is not "part" of him. Tell him it's good to get the waste into the potty. Get "Once Upon A Potty" (boy version) book. Something definitely clicked for my son after that book. Let him look at him bum in the mirror so he can see where the poop comes from. I think pooop is more mysterious for boys! LOL Good luck!

Hi B..... I dont think you are alone with this at all.... my son is almost 4 and he is just now going poops by himself.. He use to make me sit with him. At one point he was so afraid that he made himself constipated for 9 days.. I had to finally make an appoinment with the Dr... and he was more afraid to go to the Dr., that he went on his own and its been ALOT easier!!
Good Luck!

Check out Nora P's advice from April 1st. Sounds like a great idea.

Give him plenty of fiber so that he poops easily. It seems like all my friends who's children had the 'poop' issue were all really constipated too.
I did the '3 day potty training' by Lori Jensen and it worked like a charm (pee and poop in 2 days). Maybe try her suggestions? It's an e-book you can buy online (around $30)? Good luck! :)
