Blog: 4 yr. old pooping in underwear

My almost 4 year old son is pooping in his underwear. He goes pee-pee in the potty but refuses to go poo-poo in the potty. He will go in his underwear. I took away the pull-ups last week but he cries and refuses to go. Bribery has not work, sticker chart is not working....HELP!!


4 year old pooping refusing to poop in potty

HELP!!!  I am in a power struggle with my 4 year old son who is refusing to poop in the potty.  We have tried everything...star charts, treats, getting a bike. He wears underwear all day long and is going pee-pee in the potty, no problem.  He will go hide in his room and poop in his underwear.  I have tried to catch him a couple of times before the pooping has occured and sit him on the potty, he does but cries and cries.  I don't know.  I don't want to go back to the pull-ups, because that seems like a step backward.  I need some guidance.
