I'd help you if I could but I'm having the same problem with my daughter. She pees just fine but she'll wait until we put a "night-night" diaper on her to poop. How old is he?  |

I never forced the child past what he/she may think are their limitations. Everytime my little girl would go potty, I would allow her to put a sticker on a sticker board. She went through her two with problems, she is now 3 and we are not having any problems now. Everytime he makes an accomplishment, clap your hands and loudly praise him, jump around and dance. let him then place a sticker of his favorite character upon a peice of paper (or wall). they find this to be exciting and will want to do it more often. Don't yell at them or show them that you are upset when they do poo in their pants. Their little minds cant handle this, then they will be afraid to tell you when they have to go or that they have went. Be patient, don't show anger at all when accidents occurr and show over extreme praise when he does it right. He will catch on.  |

My sister had a similar problem, what she did was fill a jar with little wraped gifts. And called it the Potty jar & drew a toliet on paper & taped it to the jar. Every time he went potty he got to draw something out of the jar. It worked for them, maybe it will work for you!  |

My nephew was doing pretty much the same thing. But the doctors just told my sister in law basically you can't force them and push it. They have to do it on their own. He's trained now. Also, boys are slower at it from girls from what I heard as well.  |

a lot of kids actually have this issue... as weird as it seems, the experts say that they see it as a part of themselves and that somehow or another ties into not wanting to flush a part of themselves. I don't know about that, but... if you suggest to them (by way of example) that poop belongs in the toilet, not their diaper anymore, then the toughest part is handled. I showed them the diaper being emptied into the toilet and explained that poop goes in there. Within a couple days, they made the connection all on their own. If he's less than 3, I wouldn't push it... be thankful you don't have a poop smearer ;o)  |

Let him be for the time being, if you're worried about his nutrition start him on vitamins or maybe even Pediasure. Also make sure he eats lots of fiber.  |
