He's never been a fan of pooping while at school, but does at other points in the day.
Pullups are not an option at school.
I don't know. My older son spoiled me and made me feel like a great potty trainer. Even the other daycare kids I had before I started this job were a breeze. My little guy was stubborn, but had it down until this past week for some reason.
I understand that he has not had any accidents up to this point I guess I am confused as to whether you are just taking him at specific intervals and happen to catch him when he needs to go poop or if he is really potty trained. My children ask to come inside to have a poop rather than soil themselves. My youngest daughter did not poop train until she was 4, before that she had accidents all the time and then trained herself to only poop in her pullup at night time. Now that she has finally trained she will ask to come inside rather than poop herself. My youngest trained at 3 and never had accidents either.
It is unfortunate that pullups are not allowed because unfortunately like hwichlaz mentioned when you gotta go you gotta go and when kids are trained in my experience they never soil themselves. You could certainly try to change his scheduke to catch his poop before he goes outside as that seems to be the most logical way to go about it. He seems to be pooping at a regular routine time.
