One of my friends is at her wit's end. Her 3.5 year old DS will not use the potty (pee or poop). However, he is very upset when he has anything in his diaper. He immediately asked to be changed, even when just slightly wet. She has tried various techniques. Currently, she has a potty point chart. She let her DS pick out a toy that he wanted. He can't open the toy until he gets 14 potty points. He gets 1 point each time he uses the potty - pee or poop. It's been several weeks and he has 0 points. It seems like a total control issue with her DS. Does anyone have advice to overcome this?
She had wanted to enroll him in preschool but he couldn't go because he wasn't potty trained. I don't think he even knows this, though, so I don't think that's the issue.
