Suggest Remedy For Problem With Training A Child

I have a 4 &half yr old grandson im raising w his father. he started potty training urinating he has no problem. but for a while refused to even set on potty. Now he will set but cant go. he will go play then have accident in undees. sometimes he doesn t even realize it. Sometimes he will tell me he pooped & he would be clean. I really think he might have a problem. He told my aunt if I can just poop in the potty I can go to school. Im getting worried that its not his fault.

Pediatrician 's  Response
thanks for the query.
By your description it seems you have difficulty in potty training your grand child.
Potty training requires patience. As he is 4 & half yr, he has his own ways too. one needs to negotiate, bribe and at times be strict about potty training rules. Be patient and persistent, he will learn and follow.
I find this answer helpful
