4yr old twin boys won't poop in potty

by bubbiesmama, Feb 14, 2009 03:03PM
My 4 yr old twin boys will pee in the toilet (they are wearing underwear most of the time) but when they need to poop they either hide and do it, or come and ask for a pull-up.  One of them used the toilet a few times and then stopped.  The other one says he's scared to sit on it.  They are very tall for their age and a baby potty is not an option anymore.  My husband and I don't know what to do.  We have tried both rewards and punishments (leaving them dirty).  Please help!!  


This discussion is related to Almost 4, withholding stool and refusing to poop in potty.
