My DD is 3.5 and has no problem going for a wee (still wet during naps and night, though) but for each of the grand total of 3 times that we've managed to get her to poo in the potty, she has been incredibly distressed about it. Afterwards she is fine and even proud of herself but at the moment she still poos in her nappy - able to hold on until she is asleep, basically, and has a poo when/as she wakes up.
We've asked her to call for us if she needs a poo but she won't do it - tonight I went into her room to check on her and she was standing on her bed, right by the monitor, having a very quiet #2, though she was getting a bit upset about it.
Is there anything we can do to help her? Is it just a stage and it'll pass and work itself out in good time?
Grateful for any advice.
