How to Stop a 2-Year-Old from Touching Poop in Diaper?
How do I get my 2 year old to stop touching his poop in his diaper?!!!
It’s not like I let him walk around in poop for a long time. I’ll be doing dishes and not notice that he’s pooping. He’ll come up to me and tell me that he pooped but he’s already touched his poop by then.
HELP!

@dazzlingmommy, I have tried that! When he poops in his potty he get a lil Reese’s cup or lil gummies as rewards. And before I ever started disciplining him on touching his poop I would talk to him about it but he never listened or cared. He’s a stubborn little boy

I found praising my son when he’s being good about something instead of waiting until he did something wrong and disciplining him has worked very well! Also, talking to him and explaining things to him has helped a ton!
For instance, when he’s not throwing his food on the ground I tell him “You’re being such a good boy not throwing your food on the ground.” And I’ll keep telling him that in different ways until he is finished eating. Same thing for when he wants to go outside, I’ll tell him “I’m sorry but we can’t go outside right now because _____.” He May be upset but he won’t throw a tantrum like he did when I just tell him “No!”
So in your case keep reminding him to poop in his potty but to also not touch his poop. I know it sounds silly, but just say “you’re being a good boy not touching your poop!” Or “big boys don’t touch their poop because it will make you sick” etc. etc. Also try to pay attention to him around the time he usually poops or when you think it’s coming- that’ll be the best time to tell him the above.
If disciplining hasn’t worked, try communication and explaining things to him. They understand more than you think even though they can’t quite talk very well. Toddlers are little explorers so they want to get into everything and maybe they know they aren’t supposed to do something but telling them WHY they can’t do it will give them more understanding. Communication is key! 😊

No I just let him walk around naked so he knows he has to use the potty @taylorsmommy1017,

I am potty training him and we are half way there in understanding to use the potty. I let him walk around without a diaper so he knows he has to use the potty. But when we go out or have visitors over I put a diaper on him. And him putting his toys away won’t do anything cos he knows he has to clean up his toys after using them and he’s really good at picking up. I’m lost in ideas of how to punish him on touching his poop

@taylorsmommy1017, iv spanked him and put him in time out but He keeps doing it!!! I tell him it’s yucky and gross to do that but no matter how much I talk to him or how many times I spank him or put him in time out he keeps doing it 🤬
