[quote=Anonymous]Mirilax plus outright bribing with highly desirable toys worked for my 3 year old. First she got the toy just for sitting while trying, even if she had to stand in the end. Later, she got a toy ONLY if she produced some BM on the toilet - which included if she started in her underwear and finished on the potty. Later, she ONLY got the toy if she went sitting on the potty without anything in her underwear.

Also talked with her about pushing like she had to fart and told her to fart while sitting to help her understand how to control the muscles to produce the desired outcome while sitting.

We used My Little Pony figures (I got a pack of like 12 of them that I had ready for each "success"). Find something your child REALLY wants, show it to them and tempt the heck out of them, but put your foot down that they can only have it incrementally for making steps as described above. Immediately give it to them after the success and celebrate each success like you're a ridiculous nutcase, whooping and cheering and hollaring till your kid laughs.[/quote]
