We started potty training DD (now 3.9) in July last year - she 'got it' with the wees pretty quickly but the poos have been an enduring nightmare. Am at my wits end. She has pooed in her pants almost everyday since - sometimes multiple times a day. She has however also done it on the potty/loo a few times so I know she can. It's just that she chooses not to. She goes to nursery 3 days a week and it's not an issue as she holds it in. She either refuses to sit on the potty or sits on it for 40 mins and then does a poo in her pants half an hour later. Can't pin down the timing either. I am sick to death of scrubbing pants. I have tried everything: from coaxing her, bribery, heaping praise when she does sit on the potty, cleaning it up without comment, saying I'm disappointed to also getting cross! I lost the plot today and started crying - I've just had enough. Should I put her back in nappies? I did threaten this but she didn't seem that bothered. Any advice greatly appreciated!
