HI all
i have just gotten my boy home for good in the last week. He has been with me on a relief basis about once a month for 5 days at the time. My house is stable and he knows how things work here, where his room is - basically he is really comfortable here. He has been using the potty infrequently at his foster home and here over the last year I think. Suddenly (after watching a potty video, I think
) he wants to pee all day. Now he has had surgery there and I am not 100 % sure if every thing is fine. He manages to pee 5 drops mostly and then wants to go again in 5 mins. Im not too bothered about that although it is driving me nuts
but its the #2 that has me concerned. When he does #2 he has to be standing upright and definately wont do it on the potty - again im not bothered by that. But now we face the problem of trying ot get him to go now - he has gone a little today but i am also concerned long term - If he can only poo standing up, how will he ever learn to sit and poo when the time comes.
So i guess i have to 2 questions - should i jsut ignore all attempts to pee on the potty and what should i do about his febile attempts to poo sitting down.
Thanks for reading
