Potty Training
My kid is about to turn 4 but he is not ready to use potty seat for potty. He wants only diaper for it. If we force him he controls his stool and avoids doing poop for that day. He uses washroom for loo without anyone's help. How can I train him. Is it ok to not do potty for day or two?
