[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry that you're little guy is going through this. If it feels too daunting to tackle yourself, I would contact Rene Hackney for a potty coach referral. My kid with motor coordination issues sits on the potty to pee. Definitely invest in clothes with no snaps, zippers, buttons. If your kid is willing to sit on the toilet to poop that's a good thing, so reward him lavishly with praise and a sticker or other small token. Once a little more enthusiasm is built up. I would try to put him on a regular schedule to use the potty about every two to three hours at times that make sense like first thing in the morning or before meals or leaving the house. I wouldn't go the naked route trying to catch pee b/c that sounds more complicated than just cleaning up/changing clothes if he has an accident. You still may need the diapers when he's out and about until he gets the hang of it.[/quote]
