My DD (2.5) has been weeing on potty (or toilet) now for a few weeks and doing brilliantly. She refuses point blank to sit on either to do a poo however and goes bonkers when i try to put her on the toilet. She's had a few accidents in her pants (which really upset her) and so i tried to explain how much nicer it would be for her to poo in the toilet so we could flush it all away etc etc thinking this might encourage her. It hasn't. I now seem to have made a big deal out of it without meaning to (as I'm sure thats the worst thing you can do) but as she went barmy when she pooed in her pants, i thought she would prefer to do it in the toilet...obviously not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I've tried reading to her when she's on the toilet or potty to try to distract her but to no avail. Tonight, the only thing that worked was putting a nappy on her ready for bed (as she's not dry at night yet) and then she promptly pooed in it.
