Toddler won’t squat to poop

My toddler is 2yrs old and refuses to squat when he poops. He isn’t ready to potty train yet but any tips to help to get him to squat? We have tried to squat ourselves to show him when he is pooping. And we have tried to bend his legs but he is stiff as a board. Not sure how we will ever potty train him down the road when we gets so stiff to poop.

I never heard to teach to squat to poop and if you train to use a potty I’m not sure squatting would be beneficial to learn now. My son is stiff when he poops in his pull up but will poop in the potty. Does your child have issues with constipation?

Yeah, we give him miralax everyday otherwise he can’t get it out since he won’t bend his knees at all.
