Potty Training

Is it normal for a 4 year old to not be potty trained?

If there are no medical issues...then I'd have to say no. For me, my personal max is 3yrs old. But there might be some underlying issues?

Do you mean completely potty trained or maybe just poops ?? if you mean he/she is not potty trained at all then that is not normal (but like the girls have already said there could be reasons) if you mean just not poops then that is normal, some children take a long time to poop in the toilet ( 4 is a bit extreme but I have heard of it )

I wouldnt say it was "normal" but every child grows and developes in different time scales. If it worrys you, then take him to see your doctor, and they might put u through for a pediatrition appt
