Your little kid pees on the potty just fine — but when it comes to poop? Diaper only, thank you very much.
You haven't done anything wrong. This is one of the most common potty-training hiccups, affecting 20–25% of little kids.
In this episode, Dr. Cathryn breaks down exactly why it happens and what actually helps.
You'll learn:
- The real reason most kids resist (hint: it's fear, not stubbornness)
- What to say — and what not to say
- Simple ways to make the potty feel safer and less overwhelming
- How to move toward the potty in tiny, low-pressure steps
- Why stool softness matters more than most parents realize
This isn't about saying enough is enough. It's about understanding what's driving the resistance — and meeting your child there.
