Help! My 3 year old Son mastered potty training quite quickly and happily sits on the grown up toilet for wee's but will not do a poo in the toilet or on the potty! It is becoming a nightmare, he holds on to it, which means there are many pants changes with little and often poo, I have been told this is normal! I disagree as my eldest Son never had this problem and I don't know of any other children who do this..... We tried a reward chart which failed miserably, we persisted for 4 weeks... This has been going on since the end of August.
He does the occassional 'plop' in the toilet then comes off saying he has finished, we know he hasn't, we put him back on and he goes into meltdown. Any ideas, suggestions would be great as I am fed up washing dirty pants, I have even left him in pooey pants to see if he gets the message- he doesn't.
