Please check out the other debate going on re this issue. there are also a few articles written on minti re chronic constipation which can be the next step from here if you force the issue with the toliet. Let him have a nappy. Relax on the whole issue. nappies are disgusting for 3 year olds but the alternative problems caused if too much pressure is placed upon a reluctant child are far worse beleive me. the nappies are no big deal. I doubt he will do a poo in the few hours he is in kindy - if he does pop a nappy in his bag. It will not be the first time the teachers will have seen this problem. My son however, never did a poo at nursery, if they can hold a poo for days they can hold a poo for 3 hours if they choose too. Kindergarden should not be the push for changing his behaviour. Instead you must try to refocus upon a healthy attitude towards pooing. Leave any talk re toliets and poos for a few weeks, then encourage him to sit with his nappy on until he is doing that happily. A smaller seat can help, although if they shift position it can be even scarier.

To date you don't have a medical problem. You have a problem that is causing you stress and embarrassment. This you can with strengh ignore. If it esculates you could have a chronic condition that requires years of medication. see the other advice and if he starts to go days without a poo get to the doctors QUICKLY. Best of luck pnp x

Not much you can do but to continue to encourage the toilet, he'll do it when he's ready, you dont see many 30 year olds pooping in a manappy after all.
