| 4 1/2 yr old not even close to being potty trained...updated
My son Kadyn is 4 1/2 years old...he is not even close to being potty trained and it seems like he has no control of his bowels...I tried every method in the book...I even took him to the doctor, my doctor said he is probley consitpated and is backed up and that is y his stools r soft and run threw the whole day...he gave use some meds like some fiber to help this problem but it has not helped at all i think alot of it is cuz he is lazy and it is easier for him to go in his pants then to go in the potty. i know he can do it he has very good days and then very bad days....but he has only went poo in the potty maybe 3 times since starting potty trained....and when u ask him to go pee he gets upset like u r punishing him....I don't know what to do next....I think his younger sister will be potty trained before he ever will be...his sister just turned one....the doctor said that if he had an accedent in front of other kids he might get embrassed and change but he has had accedents infront of his friends and he thinks of it as a no big deal....but i know this is TMI but his poop stinks...and i can't change it anymore i now have him changing it himself cuz i feel like i will throw up and i read somewhere if u make them change it then they would think it was gross and change but of corse that didn't work....
