From my earlier post, I mentioned giving my daughter a suppository because she was holding not constipated. This suppository overrode her holding and the bm brought such relief to her, as having a bowel full is not comfortable, that a light bulb went off and she realized pooping brought her relief and made her feel better. I guess every child who has this issue has a different switch which will make them realize pooping is a good thing....we just have to find it.
My dcg who just turned three has had her toilet training stopped because it was such a battle. She is like a different kid now the pressure is off and we are hoping she will initiate going on the potty herself.
This is what my sister is hoping for, that once the pressure is off she will regain interest and confidence in using the potty again.
