I have tried the charity ERIC who gave me some tips to try and get her to poo in the toilet instead of a nappy and everything they suggested has not worked. I've tried reward chart, saying there's no more nappies (her younger sister is still.in nappies and they fit her so this doesn t work) telling her 4 year olds shouldnt be wearing nappies etc, opening one side of the nappy to gradually take the nappy off. If i put a nappy in the toilet she still won't do it. I've also tried putting a hole in the nappy and she went completely nuts asking for another nappy. She actually lay on the floor sobbing for 20 minutes. I've never seen her like that. I emailed ERIC to ask for further advice and have been told it's behavioural and to either ask HV or GP. I just don't know what to do anymore. It worries me that if it continues this way it will affect her growing up. How will she have a sleepover or go away with the school? She cant be taking nappies with her. I know it's along time in the future but she's just not budging with this. When i refused nappies she went 5 days without going and the 5th day she was ill with it and she still wouldn't go. What can I do?? I'm so desperate for any help right now. The HV was no help she just said try blowing bubbles with her and make it fun but she wont let me in the bathroom.
