I am very open about my potty business, I seldom shut the door and if they want to come in they are always welcome. I discuss freely with them what is going on, and my policy has always been that if they are old enough to ask the question, they are old enough for the answer. I have not had to train my boys in the conventional sense because at some point they just start doing it and that's it, they never quit. Of course I understand that your situation is vastly different from mine own, however, I think that ' monkey see monkey do' is innate in all human beings. I am far from an expert, but perhaps your son is acting on a frustration over not having the the appropriate behavior modeled for him on a subject that is treated as taboo. Most children don't understand taboo and the resulting fear can be crippling; I can only imagine that the effect would be intensified for a special needs child, as they do not possess the double mindedness that "normal" people do that allows them to deal with the cognitive dissonance that taboo can cause.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208450388539741472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074415017283652954.post-17402363635967548772012-01-15T21:34:12.268-07:002012-01-15T21:34:12.268-07:00I never thought poop-y words could be so moving. ...I never thought poop-y words could be so moving. As the mommy of one who didn't "train" until 5 YO, and two more who are almost 4 and not willing to look at a potty, I fight "poop rage" all of the time.
