Hi all,
My daughter is turning 4 in February and we haven’t been able to fully potty trained her yet. She’s absolutely fine to do wees and rarely has a wee accident but she refuses to do poo in the potty. The only way to get her to poo in the potty is by tricking her to watch TV while sitting in the potty. She’s perfectly aware when she wants to do poo or if she’s done poo, she would normally say that she wants to be on her own or will hide somewhere, etc, if we try to force her to use the potty she would just cry and ask to please leave her alone.
This situation has been going for more than 6 months, we tried all sort of things but she would still do poo in her pants. We had a number of situations where she was constipated, would hold herself for a few days and will later do a massive poo while watching TV and sitting in the potty, in these situations we need to hold her hands as she would cry in pain.
A week ago we took her to the doctor who suggested to give her laxido every day, we’ve been doing that and she has regular poo but always in her pants.
We’ve been always supportive and we don’t want to make her feel bad when she has accidents, it seems to be something stronger than her.
She currently going to nursery where the situation is the same, the nursery staff say that she would hide and do poo without telling anyone but when it comes to wee, she would ask for the toilet.
Has anyone been in this situation? I heard a lot of advices but nothing seems to work, we are a bit desperate now
Thanks
