poop happens. do nothing but forgive him for this one transgression and focus on improvement in the future. focus on the act not the child. remind him that he is a good boy and good boys always try to poop in the toilet like big people; never in their pants. a child in foster care is one that is likely under a considerable amount of stress whether it is obvious or not. soiling himself could just be attention-getting or he could simply be stool-holding. a three-year old can get a bit lazy and think he has the ability to control his bms -- to go just when he wants and not when nature calls. he may have been surprised to discover that he cannot. this is likely just a minor setback so just gently reinforce the importance of using the potty. get a device to freeze or record his tv show so that he does not miss it. give him plenty or reading material in the bathroom lots of love and positive encouragement.
