mine too. i have twin boys who are now standing up to pee, but refuse to poop in the toilet. one has a spot in our kitchen where he has to stand on a stool with only his pullup on, no shirt or pants.then he poops!the other usually stands at his dad's chair and if you look at him, he says stop looking at him, while he grunts and poops in the pull up.we told them they have to try before Christmas or Santa will take some toys off their list. hadn't worked yet. they're also more aggressive too. you'd think that they watch wrestling or something, the way they are trying to fight and tussle around on the floor. feel your pain.

My son was the same wouldn't poop in the pot at all in the end i resorted to bribery i told him if he pooped in the pot i would buy him a fireman sam truck it worked it cost me a tenner but once he'd done it once he was happy to keep doing it. Then he started school and he regressed he pooped himself three times in school and in the end i had to take him out of that school after the school refused to change him and left him sitting in his own poop for 20 minutes which i found unacceptable. So it was back to bribery i bought a multipack of hot wheels cars and told him he could have one every time he pooped on the pot 6 weeks later he poos on the pot and wipes his own bum hes started a new school and he hasnt had a accident once

What I did with my son once I knew he could tell when he needed to poop and that he could do it, is I told him that I wasn't going to clean it up anymore and if he pooped in his pants he was going to have to clean it. He pooped in his pants one more time I stood in the bathroom with him and told him what to do he was so grossed out he never pooped in his pants again. Now I realize that is kind of harsh but it worked with him. It may not work with your son. As for the other stuff I have not had an issue with it yet so can't help you there.

The pooping in the potty thing I dont think is a developmental thing at all, My oldest which is now 6 yrs old but when I was training him he had no problem peeing in the potty but when it came time to poop he would run off and hide and then come out when he was done, so id have to change his underwear and clean him up but after a lil while he eventually started going in the potty , id just keep at it , your doing fine!

I don't have any advice on the poping thing. But with the hitting are you being VERY consistant in what ever punishment he gets? And you could try taking away any toys he throws, putting them in a paper bag, and not giving them back for a week.
