8 min•14 oktober 2026

Om avsnittet

Your child pees on the potty without a problem, but when it's time to poop, they insist on a diaper. You've tried rewards, encouragement, and waiting it out. Nothing seems to work.

In this episode, Dr. Cathryn explains why some toddlers refuse to poop on the potty and what you can do to help.

You'll learn:

  • Why constipation may be part of the problem, even if your child poops every day.
  • Why rewards and pressure can make poop refusal worse.
  • When giving your child a diaper is actually the right move.
  • Simple steps to help your child feel more comfortable pooping on the potty.

The goal isn't just to get your child pooping on the potty. It's to help them get there without fear, pressure, or daily battles.
