A lot of information I have read says that it is just habit for them to want to poop standing up. If you put a stool in front of the toliet or use a low potty seat so that their feet are on something it helps them transition easier... So I've read...

I too have had this problem. But I talked my son into, if he goes poop on the toilet, I will give him a piece of chocolate. But if he poops in his pants, he gets time out to think about what he did wrong. So far, its working... and its been a week....

I have the exact same problem! Mine is 3 and from everything I read sometimes you just have to wait till they are ready to make that step.

have you tried making a game out of listening for the 'plop'? i know it sounds gross... but that's how i get my girl to enjoy doing her poo. She also likes her privacy and asks for the door to be shut... so i sit right outside just in case she needs help.

good luck
