Keeping as brief as I can. 4 year old DS, been doing wees in the toilet for months now but will only poo in a pull up. And only hiding in a bedroom not in the bathroom.
We've tried all kinds of methods and had a little breakthrough a few weeks ago where he would sit on the loo in a pull up and go. I then cut a hole in the pull up the next night and he was fine when it dropped straight through. Even went back to do more.
Roll on 2 weeks later and he will sit on the loo to try and poo, but then gets hysterical when he needs it and ends up back in a pull up and hiding in a bedroom again. He is withholding too so I don't want to push him too hard.
Any advice? We've tried fun songs, books, rewards etc.
My instinct is let him keep sitting on the loo as at least he's trying and maybe one day we will get there again.
