My 3.5 year old is pee trained and seems happy and enthusiastic about using the potty for #2, but she only makes it there in time maybe a third of the time. More often than not by the time she says “I have to poop” it’s already in progress. We have talked about listening to her body and going to the bathroom whenever anything feels it might be coming out, but it just doesn’t seem to be clicking. We’ve tried putting her on the potty after every meal but that’s never worked and she’s very resistant to sitting when she says she doesn’t have to go (she was this way with pee too). Any advice? Is there a way to teach her to better anticipate it?
