Any tips to get my 2 year old to poop on the potty/toilet?
Currently potty training my son doing the no diaper/underwear/pants method and heās doing pretty well with peeing. He goes to the potty himself when he feels he has to go and even when he starts to have an accident, he will say uh-oh, stop peeing and then run to the potty to finish peeing.
He absolutely refuses to poop though! He knows when he has to poop because he comes crying to me saying poop, help, diaper (he wants to put on a diaper to poop) so when he does this I take him to the potty but he refuses to go. He will sometimes sit up there for as long as 10 minutes (I donāt make force him to sit that long, he chooses too) but wonāt go!
He will then poop on the floor instead. I know learning to poop can take longer than learning to pee but wanted to post in case anyone experienced this and has any advice for me! Iām wondering if I should try to put him in underwear, so at least heās not pooping all over the floor but I also donāt want to mess up the progress heās made with peeing in the potty.

And I guess I shouldnāt use the word ārefuseā lol. But he does put up a fight/tantrum sometimes when I try to encourage him to poop. Other times he will sit and do nothing

My son just got out of that
2.5 mark is when it stopped .
He was only
Comfortable in his diaper but to into what ever he was doing to say he has to poop or pooped.
But now heāll say ā I pooped againā and o have to poop or Iāll be back I have to poopā

Put the diaper in the potty
