Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 8 yr old boy1 Year agoA. potty training and toilet training should be initiated as soon as the child completes one and half years of age. avoid before that except if you feel that the child is giving cues when he or she wants to pass stool.
also good demonstration has to be given again and again to the child to reinforce the habit.
make the child sit on potty seat daily so that the child gets accustomed and not fearful of the seat and situation
kindly go through various articles on potty training on firstcry.
please be patient as after starting training it may take 6 months also for the child to learn.
most important thing important training is that you have to rule out constipation and also if needed constipation medicine needs to be given so that the stool becomes free flow and the child is not able to hold it
RashmiMom of a 11 yr 7 m old girl1 Year agoA. See I will tell you this is just a psychological issue that your child is having maybe the child is not doing it intentionally or your child is just controlling it to the court court till the time it doesn’t hit the child that I want to poop a lot of kids have this habit of holding urine and poop and by the time they know that now it is the end I have to go they just poop in into their pants so just do counselling with your child and very strictly explained it to the child but if you poop into your pants and you are going to catch an infection then they’re going to be worms it’s going to be painful so show the future that actually can happen because of this unhealthy habit I’m certain the child is going to understand
