Potty Training

Anybody got any advice on encouraging your little ones to poo in the potty or toilet? My little one has been potty training for around a month now and is great when he needs a pee but will not poo, holds it for days and then he ends up doing it in his pants. Tried showing him videos, reading books, getting him to watch tv while on the potty to distract etc. but nothing seems to be working and he gets himself so distressed when I try and get him to sit on the potty to do one. Any more ideas please send them my way 🙏

I found the "Oh crap!" book incredibly helpful. It tackles all kinds of scenarios.

Dr Becky talks about the concept of body continuity and why this is an issue for a lot of kids. She suggests explaining to the child what happens to food in our body and how it turns to waste, and also saying goodbye to poo and that it goes to the river to hang out with all its friends 😂

We watched a video about the poo going off to Pooland to be with all his friends too 😂😂. Will check out that book and Dr Becky. Thanks 🙂
