Is this a common *problem* among 4 >year olds? Our son mastered bladder controll around 3 years (I think, it's been a while). But bowel movements took untill 4 years old. The bottom line was, he finally understood how to controll himself. Once you have taught him the mechanics of going to the potty, it's up to him. Just encourage him to go whenever you can, and eventually, he'll catch on. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Lowrey "To vacillate or not to vacillate, that is the question.... ....or is it?" ...!(be those of the author and not necessarily those of his most eminent employer. ]
