having trouble getting son that just turned 5 to poop in the potty?

Is he aware that he needs to 'go' and is he aware of actually having a BM? The age of 5 is quite late to not be trained, so if I were you I might be thinking about actually going down the medical route to find out if perhaps he doesn't have full control of the muscles involved or something. If you have a medical reason ruled out and it is just him making a choice about not doing it in the toilet I would just take the pull ups away altogether and make sure to send him to the toilet really regularly (maybe once every half an hour.) When he does a BM make sure to really praise him. Also, try to watch him for any signs of needing to go, or actually going, so that you know the indicators to look out for. Good luck!

do away with the diapers thoroughly do not wait to any extent further he would desire to have been potty knowledgeable by using now.for bedtime or errands you should apply the thick gerber decrease than placed on and you should double up.I very own a daycare and have potty knowledgeable many young ones .i could additionally attempt self-discipline because hes older an nos what he think to do .you additionally could make him stay to tell the story potty till he is going.in case you incredibly cant get him potty knowledgeable i could attempt to touch potty boot camp lives in Hawaii yet does telephone consultations for around a hundred and fifty she is primary international in has a three day assure that your toddler would be potty knowledgeable an you dont pay till the youngster is knowledgeable her na me is rebbeca you are able to look her up

Make him sit on the potty until he goes and give him praises when he does. School may be a problem, they want children to be potty trained when they start school. Accidents happen but not everyday. You may want to consider keeping him out another year.

Good luck!

be super rewarding when he tells you. that way he knows this is a big deal. he is 5, so its time that he gets this under control. kindergarten isn't going to like this at all. i suggest everytime he poops, that you physically dump it into the toilet to show him that this is where it belongs. sometimes kids don't realize they need to poop or pee. so every hour, sit him down to go the bathroom. it's going to be tiring, but maybe he'll go and you can reward/praise him for being such a big boy!!!

good luck sweetie

put him on the toliet and tell him he needs to try to poop after about 5 minutes give him a reward for trying even if he didnt poop. he will start to associate using the toliet as good bc he gets a reward after he uses it.

i put underwear on my son and he use to poop in them he didnt like the feelin so he tried to use the the toilet but couldnt make it i told him i would buy him the biggest balloon he wanted and in 2 days he used the toliet with out dirting his underwear he is 3 1/2
