Q:I'm potty training my son,but he refuses to poo in his potty or toilet.Help!

A:Lots of toddlers find the move from nappy to potty more difficult when it comes to pooing,so rest assured that it's quite normal.Start by avoiding any chat within the family about potty training when your little one's around.If everyone is always discussing his toilt habits,it'll just increase his anxiety.Only let him overheard good news about himself.Focus on a diet that has plenty of fruit and fibre,with good amounts of fluid to reduce constipation and the possibility of painful poos.All this will take a week or so.Next,try letting him sit on the potty with his nappy on while he does a poo.When he does that,give him plenty of praise.The next stage is to build up to removing his nappy.This will all take time,maybe a few months,so try to keep your approach relaxed and confident.
