[quote=Anonymous]You don't say much about his delays but boys of 2/3 (which he may be developmentally) are often scared of the toilet. They are afraid of the thought of their feces being flushed away because they think of this as part of themselves. They are afraid they may be flushed away. (Young children don't think rationally about size/shape relationships and tellling them they are too big to fit down the drain is not effective). They are afraid a part of them could fall down the drain. If he is at this developmental age his fearfulness could be a big issue. [/quote]
