My Kid Poops On The Floor

This problem is most often linked to constipation.

My kid poops on the floor.

As soon as he gets caught he will say no poo poo on the floor. We have tried rewards punishments praise toys etc. My almost 4 year old had been potty trained for almost a year and it has been struggle to get him to poop in the potty. A child who longs for her parents approval may suddenly start to feel embarrassed or ashamed when a bathroom accident occurs no matter how accepting her parents are actually likely to be.

No yelling no scolding no eye contact. When poops happen on the floor a poop on the potty is worth the party. If we wait twenty years before addressing this problem although it may not involve any hand swatting it will be much more painful than if we address it decisively at one or two years old by teaching them to associate bad behavior with hand swatting. And this resistance takes the form of pooping on the bathroom floor.

Constipation occurs when stool becomes backed up in. Your child may have mastered peeing in the potty but taking a bowel movement can be an entirely different story. I know my son enjoyed graphic dramatic retellings of his massively large poop and reveled in the attention. No your 4 year old is going to resist resist and resist some more.

My suggestion is to ask him if he may be angry about something and to try to explore this possibility with him over time and help him voice possible anger or resentment even if it seems like a reach. Sooner or later we all have to learn that pooping on the floor is not an acceptable way to handle conflict. Is your child old enough to know what she s doing. It occurs when a child usually over the age of 4 has a bowel movement and soils their pants.

I think we ve had it easy compared to some kids i ve heard about going through the same problem. As a result she may claim to have used the bathroom when she really urinated on the living room floor. Indeed many toddlers refuse to poop anywhere except their diaper or pull up. He know he is doing something wrong and will even clean it up himself before we see it on the floor.
