It was Daniel Tiger's Neighood. I also let my husband show him how to pee in the toilet, and let him seeing him using the toilet. when His dad finished, he told him. look, daddy poos in the toilet, takes a piece of toilet paper and wipes, then flush, then wash hands with soap and water, and dried hands. This is the step by step process. so far, It is working at our house for two wks now. I went to his school, and ask his teacher, how does, she gets him to the bathroom. She is doing the shaking of his pants at school. This way, she knew, he wants to go to the bathroom. I notice, He is doing this at home too, and I just let him uses the toilet, when ever, He is shaking his pants. You might also want to do the sign language, hand signal for bathroom. try one or more of these methods, and see if this will work for your child. Good luck.

my son is 4yrs old, and just start to poo in the toilet. Thanks to pbs show, Daniel goes to the potty. we watch that show for half hour, then I sat him on the toilet. with daily reminders, He is pooing in the toilet. our kids are visual learners. I also now used an illustrative guide, that shows him the process, step by step, this is also helping him. with patience and consistency, they do will get it. It takes time. Hope this help, as you undergo this challenging task.
