HELP Poopy Training My 3.5 Year Old!!!

When i was potty training my son he had a few poo-poo accidents. But overall he caught on pretty quick! When he would poop in his pants I told him it was really gross and disgusting and that poo-poo needs to be put into the potty. He still didn't care. I also asked him "does mommy or daddy go poo-poo in our pants?" and he would say "NO!" So i took about a week and every morning (when he would ALWAYS go poop) i would watch him in everything he did. When i saw he was getting ready to go, (he would have a certain stop he would go in) i would say... "Gavin lets go put that poo-poo in the potty" and make a BIG deal about it. The first few times he didn't go but he would go right back to his "spot" and start trying to go. And we would go BACK to the potty and try again. It took only 2 days until he was coming to me telling me he needed to go. After a week he was great at it and has not had an accident since. It's been about 4 months since then. (he is 2.5 and i started potty training before his 2nd birthday) There is hope just keep trying!
Good Luck!

J.; I have 5 children and I have found that setting a timer works. What you do is set a timer for 15 minutes and then tell him when the timer goes off it's time to go potty and have him sit down, after a day or two move the time to 20 or even 30 minutes, incourage him to go potty (or just say poopy) and then when he does go in the potty reward him. Don't tell him... if you go poopy in the potty I will reward you with what ever. He's young he doesn't care about rewards, lol. My 4 year old still could care less about a bribe, haha. Has he seen you go? A natural fear for children is the poopy time on the potty, esp if he has ever seen anyone in pain durring a pooh. Try the timer thing, I hope that helps you.

Pooping is a scary thing for young children. My son is 3 and currently still potty training. The best advice that I can give you is to sit him on the toilet every 30 mintues and encourage him to pass gas. I call it poot poot time. It is fun for boys to make noise and every once in a while he lets a little something out while making noise. He isn't fully potty trained yet but it is working. It is a lot of dedication to time the 30 minutes and have poot poot time but if you are wiling to try it it just might work. All my family says it works. My son used to run upstairs when he needed to poop because he doesn't like anyone watching him. If you son is the same you will need to follow him and then take him to the bathroom for a suprise poot poot time. LOL I know it sounds funny but try it. Let me know how it goes.
