Hi there! Hope you all are safe. I have a son who will be 14 this month and he is non verbal, can be aggressive, but most of the time a teddy bear. I love him to death. So with my son, I would surround the toilet area and bathroom with things he liked such a toys, chewys and of course his ipad. After he ate or drank something, I would sit him down on the toilet till he went. When he went , I would praise him and say good job papa. Trust me its trial and error. My son goes #1 and #2 but wiping has been challenging so all I can say is keep trying and if you need to talk or ask a question, I'm here. Be consistant! We are super heroes to these beautiful children! Stay safe!

Wow, that’s very interesting info, thank you!

Usually, when this happens it is constipation. Sitting down on the toilet is a hard way to poop. Taking off their clothes and squatting is a more natural position. Also, if the constipation has been chronic, his sphincter may be stretched, making it harder to hold feces in.

Shawn, thanks very much for the advice! My Godson can be aggressive at times too, but he’s a very lovable child most of the time. Sounds like the things you are doing are similar to what his parents are as well, but I guess you’re right, trial and error and consistency... thank you for offering your support!
