My son will not poop in the toilet? He's a very bright boy and says he wants to. How can I help him?

He's 3 years old, and can dress himself, feed himself, pour his own juice, and he can ever write his own name. What is causing him to hold back on this?

    I had a friend who had this problem. It's all about control, even if it's subconscious.

    She would put a brand new Hot Wheels car on the wall above the toilet. Something to shoot for, no pun intended.
