My daughter is potty trained and has absolutely no issues in doing her wees on the toilet and toilet. But when it comes to her pooing she doesn’t do the same and regularly poos in her knickers.
Looking for suggestions on how to help her with this. She has hearing problems and doesn’t have full understand and found using a chart for her potty training helped her immensely and thinking about starting the same for her poo poo’s💩

Meant toilet and potty Confused

One way that I know has worked for a few people is this.

Get her to ask for a nappy if she wants to poo. If she has hearing problems you might want to use the BSL sign for poo.
Let her have the nappy but explain that she must sit on the potty (with her nappy on) to do the poo.
Once she’s got used to this, after a couple of weeks, do the same but make the nappy slacker.
Keep repeating this until the nappy is super slack then instead of putting the nappy on, just lay the nappy in the potty and let her poo on it.

HTH.
