  1. Explain very carefully, again, that poo is supposed to go in the potty.  You could show empathy. "I know It is easier to use a pull-up because it feels more normal, but it is cleaner to use the potty".  This part is important, next explain that "It is now your job to stay clean, no more pull-ups"  Be firm, don't give in.  Explain the consequences if he holds it in or doesn't poo in the potty, be encouraging and supportive.  

    Then, have him bare from the waste down while at home (if you can stand it) for the rest of his training.  The feeling of being bare is a great reminder that he is supposed to use the potty and he doesn't have the option of using a pull-up or underwear.  Always keep his potty nearby.  Have him help clean up any accidents, they might happen, but he'll get past that stage soon.  DO NOT use diapers or pull-ups anymore except at night for a few weeks.  It sends a mixed message about where you want him to pee/poo.

    When he goes to the potty cheer, hug, praise, show off the goods in the potty to everyone in the house, make it a wonderful, fun, success for him.  Stick with this!!! If he hasn't gone p**p during the day don't put a pull-up on at night either.  He might think he doesn't want to train because just using a pullup/diaper is so much easier, but have confidence in your decision to train, don't let him be the boss on this issue. You don't let him eat ice cream every meal and  you aren't going to let him p**p in a diaper any more either, its just not good for him. He can do this!

    This method works,  transitioning to poo in a potty is akward for 3 year olds, but going without diapers is a very quick, effective way to potty train or re-potty train. Good Luck!


  2. What does pull means unless you mean pull up.

    If so,....my grandson is messing in his pull up and will use his potty or say potty grandma. We keep him most of the time, and it is getting fustrated. I bought underwear for him. He will be 3 in September. My daughter says that he is potty trained, but I don't think so.
