My Kid Poops On The Floor

Sooner or later we all have to learn that pooping on the floor is not an acceptable way to handle conflict.

My kid poops on the floor.

He know he is doing something wrong and will even clean it up himself before we see it on the floor. Your child may have mastered peeing in the potty but taking a bowel movement can be an entirely different story. If a poop on the floor happens no reaction. Indeed many toddlers refuse to poop anywhere except their diaper or pull up.

I think we ve had it easy compared to some kids i ve heard about going through the same problem. I know my son enjoyed graphic dramatic retellings of his massively large poop and reveled in the attention. My almost 4 year old had been potty trained for almost a year and it has been struggle to get him to poop in the potty. As a result she may claim to have used the bathroom when she really urinated on the living room floor.

Some kids are lazy about going to the bathroom but the frequency and destructive nature of the behavior sounds more than a child urinating in a corner as an easy way out of more mature toilet use. As soon as he gets caught he will say no poo poo on the floor. We have tried rewards punishments praise toys etc. It occurs when a child usually over the age of 4 has a bowel movement and soils their pants.

Is your child old enough to know what she s doing. No your 4 year old is going to resist resist and resist some more. No yelling no scolding no eye contact. Just poop belongs in the potty not the floor you don t mention his age but if he s on the older side and you do short time outs you could try telling him he has to sit on the step or somewhere away from you while you clean the mess up.

Constipation occurs when stool becomes backed up in. A child who longs for her parents approval may suddenly start to feel embarrassed or ashamed when a bathroom accident occurs no matter how accepting her parents are actually likely to be. And this resistance takes the form of pooping on the bathroom floor. This problem is most often linked to constipation.
