Hmmm...I may try this with my daughter and see if it works. I agree with the lack of pressure as the more pressure the child feels, the less likely they are to be able to relax enough to do it. I may try a potty in front of a movie or something.

If he produces great and if he doesnt, thats ok too. after a while (could be days or weeks) the childs body will usually start to become trained to poop at that time. Make sure that its a non-pressure situation, what we are trying to do is to get the childs body to relax. It does take time but it will work.
