Potty/nappy meltdowns

We’d been very informally and in a very relaxed way potty “training” our boy for a little while now. I say “training” because we were really just getting him used to the potty. He hadn’t done anything in it but loved sitting on it and going through the whole routine whenever we went to the toilet. Last week we had ...

Potty training

Any tips on helping my three year old son to start pooping on the potty? He started peeing on the potty at 18mos! .. but he has a fear of pooping. He knows when he has to poop. Asks for a diaper and everything, so it’s not for lack of understanding. When I ask him why he just says it’s scary. I try not to force the ...

I don’t want to sc...
