Not sure if this will help you but it did me!  When my 3 year old kept  pooping in his pants I had had it!  I made him carry the poopy underwear to the toilet and dump his own terds down the the toilet, he gagged all the way.. I really had a hard time not laughing at him because of all the gagging but the very next day he took off for the toilet screaming "I have to poop and I am going to the potty"!  It was a wonderful day!   And that was the end of the dirty pants,, good luck to you!

My 4 year old son won't do poo's in the toilet either, he turns 5 in december and he just won't do it, a few months ago he was doing really well and i thought ya finally, i have done the sticker chart and that worked well so i weaned him off of it and now he just poo's his undies all the time so i thought i would do the ticker chart again but he doesn't seem interested in it.
HELP what do i do!!!!!!!
