If yous take a potty trainer, you have probably heard this question from a friend or two, "My kid volition pee, just not poop on the potty.What exercise I do?"  I hear potty training questions ofttimes, but this one takes the cake.

The all-time news, if your child will pee but not poop on the potty, is that it will finish at some bespeak.   The bad news is that it may accept a while to get over the fear of going poop on the potty (some kids actually feel like they will fall in or office of their own bodies volition fall into the potty!)

Tips when a child will pee but not poop on the potty

Thanks to our awesome readers for coming up with these fantastic suggestions today.

1. Let Them Watch TV
This one is crazy, but let them watch Telly.   When our daughter was doing this, I brought our piddling training toilet into the living room surface area (I placed information technology on towels) and let her sit at that place and watch Frozen.  I knew that she would be having a bowel movement in the morning, after breakfast, so I let her watch the whole movie from the time that breakfast was over until the flick concluded.   She pooped halfway through!  (Yous volition know, because they might start to act nervous to effort to get up… if they do this, betoken out a part in the movie and help them become distracted over again.)

2. Know Their Schedule.
Try to pinpoint the time that they have a bowel movement every day.   It will probably be around the same time every day.  Try to chart it on a notebook for a few days and then movement onto #3.

3.  Continue Watching
When you lot have plant out the timing (morning, afternoon) try to go on a very shut eye on your kid.  When y'all experience similar he has to go, give him a distraction.   I would suggest giving him a tablet or even a book on the potty.   It is simply the idea of existence distracted that volition help.

4. Lollipops
Offer a lollipop only while he is trying to go poop.  Take it away when he gets up.  It isn't a punishment when you lot take it abroad, so be happy, Oh!  Good attempt.  This is simply for when you have to go poop on the potty.  You can have i  later, when you try again. 

five. Dump The Poop
If they have an accident, dump the poop into the potty.   Let your kid watch you lot take their underwear and dump the poop out of the underwear and into the potty.   Let them flush it and tell it goodbye.

6. Baby Dolls Poop, Besides.
Take their baby dolls to the potty to get poop.

7. Watch Your Pets!
If y'all have a pet, allow your kid see how even your pet has a bowel move!   A cat is a bully case, using their toilet  litter box.

8. Feet On The Ground
Your kid may need to exist touching the footing with his feet.   A lot of children take issues using the bathroom when they are on a big (regular) toilet because they can't use the floor to help them push.  Let them use a training toilet because it is small and close to the footing.
Parent Tip:  Use a coffee liner in their picayune potty and it will make cleaning up the poop so much easier! Just remove the coffee filter, dump the poop out into the potty &  wipe the potty with a  cleaning wipe.

9. Privacy
Go out them alone.  Sometimes a child just needs privacy (this is why they hide in a corner or behind a chair to poop in their diapers).  Requite them a book or tablet and walk out of the bath (if they will stay on the toilet).  I never went far and I could always picket them, but two of our iv children wanted me to leave the bathroom.  They just wanted that privacy.

x. Cut A Hole in the Diaper
Crazy, I know, but try this.  I haven't tried information technology personally, just a friend of mine swears past it!  Cutting a hole in the diaper with a pair of scissors, before putting it on your potty trainer.   Let him use it and place him on the potty to poop.   The poop will go into the potty, only the diaper will make him feel secure.   Endeavour this for v-ten days and then remove the diaper!
