Our daughter is 3 years 4 months. Potty trained since 2.5 for wee.She had severe constipation as a baby/young toddler, consequently we are fighting an on going battle with her holding poo in which results in her basically soiling her underwear for days at a time until basically what would have been 1 reasonably sized poo has basically come out over the course of several days in ruined underwear.We have tried everything to try and get her to understand that holding it in is making it worse. She’s not actually constipated now- she’s just terrified of letting it out. We have tried rewards, iPad on the toilet, prizes etc.She HAS done it on the toilet a handful of times but it’s not consistent and I’m starting to get angry and I really don’t want to shout at her.Are we destined to just have to wait until she finally gets over her fear or is there something I can try?Like I said she’s not constipated now but because she was in the past and she lasting memories of it hurting I guess.I’m at my wits end and am currently crying in another room because I just raised my voice at her after wiping sharts from her butt and throwing out yet another pair of underwear for the thousandth time.Any suggestions?! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2D6DIXt
