My daughter is now 4 years old and is still frightened of going to the toilet to do a poo. She is happy to wee on it, but thinks there is a monster down there or something. How can we combat this ?

well since she is scared.. you need to show her there is nothing to fear. let her look in potty and then take off pot and let her look down there and and even lift chair up off ground to show her there is nothing under it.. if nothing else you can try these two methods.. try singing to her while she does her duty or have her sing .. distraction somttmes is best method till she does it a few times and realizes ther is nothing to fear
