I am interested in ideas for this too.
One child here age 4 years. He is very enabled by parent. I toilet train him long time ago. I found out recent that he not poop in toilet at home. He pee in toilet but not poop in toilet at home. Here he do both.
What happen at home is he tell parent he need to poop. They send him to switch underwear to pull up. He poop in pull up. Parent change! I never hear of such thing. He know how to poop in toilet. He does here no issue. Never been issue here since training. Seems that when he was toilet trained by me, he used to poop pants at home and so they started telling him to inform when needed to poop so clean up in pull up easier than underwear. It still continue today. This boy go school in September.
He have full and total bladder and bowel control. No reason to do this at all. Never do here all day. He just uses washroom.
His mother always been funny about poop. Even older sibling who here from baby, mother would always need to know if kids pooped that day. She make husband take to walk in if child not poop for couple days. She obsessed with poop, how often, how much. I think she the root of his pooping issues plus parent enable and not get firm about age appropriate because we know he has full control and is able to go in toilet. Not fear based - he even poop in toilet when on field trips so it not about only comfortable in my toilet. He goes anywhere in day care hours but in family time, he only poop in pull up. Mom confessed that even when children go to grandparent for summer break and march break, he poop in pull up at grandparents house too.
