[quote=Anonymous]We started potty training my now-2.5 year old in February. He's doing reasonably well with peeing in the potty as long as we require him to go every few hours (he's not great at telling us when he has to go in time to get to the potty). But he has a low success rate with poop - more often than not, he goes in his pants. I know that he knows when he has to go because he'll often crawl under our table or go in a different room to do it. I try to catch him in time when I see those signs but I don't always notice (he's my second so I have another kid to pay attention to...). I know some might say "he's just not ready" but he's starting preK in September and he needs to be fully potty trained by then, so I'm getting nervous - we really need him to be better by then. Other info:
- I've asked him if he's scared of the potty or if it hurts - he says no
- He poops regularly so I don't think it's a constipation issue
- After he's had accidents I've asked him why he didn't tell us he needed to go but he's not able to articulate an answer, and often denies that he pooped his pants.

Grateful for any (kind) tips - this wasn't an issue with our first so I'm at a loss.[/quote]
