My 4 year old is trained for #1 but not #2. She holds it until late afternoon or early evening most days (maybe 5 accidents a month). We know we did something right because our 2.5 year old goes to the potty at daycare with only a few accidents (usually when she isn't near a potty). I'm so frustrated!!!

I have the same situation with my ds, aged 4.5. he is number 4 in the family, and all the others were trained by 3.

Does she ever do #2 on the toilet or potty? My ds holds it in while he is in school, but will either do it in his undear, or at night when he is in a pullup. He is scared to do it in the toilet. He has never done it in the toilet yet.

He has an appointment to a see a specialist in the childrens hospital...but it is in so long he will probbaly have cured himself by then (I hope!) unless I can make the appontment earlier somehow.

Our 4 year old can poop on the potty. She does it once a week or so. She just doesn't like to. I just read about someone putting paper down in the bathroom and telling her child to use that. Seems like a puppy! But if it works...

well, if she does it sometimes, you can try incentives. eg go to a toy store, have your dd pick out a toy she really wants, then make a star chart, and tell when it is filled she gets the toy.
