Hi Dehlia,
Withholding is a rough problem. I am so sorry. When my own child was withholding, he was still able to pee in the toilet, so I would work on having him become familiar with the toilet and sitting on it still to try and pee in it. At the same time, work on softening the bowel movements through diet. I recommend cutting out dairy and gluten, two of the most common causes for constipation. Adding a prebiotic fiber could help as well. Here’s my video about helping kids go poop on the toilet:

Wishing you all the best!

In his diaper or potty it doesn’t really matter he holds it for days. Should we hold off trying to potty train until the poop fear has gone away (it’s been over a year he’s three now and we’ve been to multiple doctors. He just holds it until he can’t anymore and it’s a huge hard ball.)

Hi Josie! Great question. Since I used to be a toddler teacher myself, I made sure that the main concepts of the course are completely compatible for daycare too. Daycares are required to changed diapers every two hours so it goes right in line with what they are doing already. You’re welcome to print out the visual schedule for them to use as well. There’s no naked time recommendations or watching children like a hawk, so it should be easy to implement at home and school. 🙂

We did the 3 day potty-training & it worked great at home, but daycare has been a disaster.

Hi Tara,
Those 3 day programs are rough for sure. I recommend a potty training break before starting a new method. You and your child need some space and time to breathe and to create positive associations with the bathroom and the entire potty training process. In my course, Peaceful Potty Training, I talk more about this and how to restart after the 3 day methods. You are wise to stop a method that is not right for your family. Wishing you and your son the best!

I’m stressed, he’s resistant and there’s pee EVERYWHERE lol
Do you think changing methods after a little less than a week would be too confusing? I can’t go back 😫

Hi Dee,

That’s so hard! If you haven’t already, I would recommend reading books to him about pooping in the potty. We have a great selection of those in our Books about going poop in the potty. I think it would be smart to rule out any potential medical issues too. If you can find an elimination specialist or pediatric urologist, they could point you in the right direction. Best wishes to you!!

However, he refuses to poop in the potty. And when asked anything about pooping in the potty or in his pants, he yells no! It’s like an automatic answer whether there is or isn’t a problem. Any tips on how to get him unafraid of pooping on the toilet?
