How do I get my daughter to poop in the potty?

First, your child can poop in a diaper—but only in the bathroom. After a week or so, continue letting them poop in their diaper, but have them do it while sitting on the potty. Next, cut a hole in the diaper with a pair of scissors just before putting it on your child, and let them wear it as they use the toilet.
