[quote=Anonymous]We had similar struggles with our second son, OP, and it was a long, long road. I would recommend dropping the issue entirely for a couple of months and letting him poop in a pull-up or diaper somewhere that he is comfortable for him. He gets to pick. In our case it was all about control and the only thing that really helped was time and the right motivation. After a year and half of him withholding and refusing to go even when it was obvious that he needed to, we offered the tablet while he sat on the toilet and that fixed everything. He's been a daily pooper for the first time since we started potty training (he's 5 BTW). Soon, we will move to getting tablet time on weekends after a successful week of pooping rather than getting it while doing his business every time.

Trust me, we tried everything and even worked with poop consultants (!!). Sometimes you get one who doesn't fit within the rules and for whom the standard advice doesn't work.  You know your child best, forget what all the books say: what does your gut tell you on this one?[/quote]
