update on toileting

[wendilla]

To all that replied to my question(another week).We have now got as far as going and sitting on the toilet saying he wants to poo but still not doing it.It seems he waits till he goes home and then does it when my daughter is not looking.I have him 4 days in the week.To wee no problem he goes every time.Have tried everything and all the advice you gave bribery singing songs and making fun of it.I am wondering now if I may be going on at him too much.But it makes it awkward to take him out anywhere till he has done it.He will be 4 in January. Thanks.

my 2 and a half year old used to be like that,so i got her a little stool so she could get on the toilet herself and i bought her them special wipes for kids bums and she started going on the toiulet for a poo in no time,dont keep going on at him he will do it in his own time kids are not all the same good luck

I haven't seen all the other asnwers,but have you tried letting him see other kiddies go to the toilet? maybe other grandchildren or kids at playschool?

[wendilla]

To T radey yes he has got the little stool and he goes himself and he has got his own special wipes and he uses the downstairs loo and I have put his posters on the wall in there .Y es you are right he will do it in his own time.

To PinkFizz yes he has seen other kids at playgroup and I get my other grandson when he comes who is 8 to try and show him.I caught him this morning and I knew what he was doing and took him straight to toilet and it was just a little marble and I know he needs to go as he didnt do anything yesterday but he is waiting till I am not looking and then he will do it in his pants.thanks both for replies.

have seen your question re grandson ant pooing suggest your daughter discusses the issue with her health visitor

[wendilla]

Ten minutes ago my grandson went to toilet and had done it on his own accord so hopefully this is a start .Not expecting him to do it every time but at least he knows.So now I have to take him up shop for the comic and the lorry he was promised.He said to me Granma you are proud of me now arn't you cause I'm a big big boy now.Had to hold back the tears BLESS HIM.

thanks all for your replies hopefully on the way now.

Had a slip up at 6pm yesterday but things should be on there way now as he keeps going and trying . Thanks again
