My 3-year-old son maintains that he is scared to poop in the potty. Some close family members even threaten to "spank" him if he does not go. Any ideas why my son has a fear of pooping in the potty?

Don't let your family members threaten your child again. This will only make the situation worse. Your child needs to feel relaxed to poop and he's not going to be relaxed if he's worried about getting spanked. Talk to him. Ask him why he is afraid and try to explain to him why there's nothing to fear. Then set up a reward system so that he gets something he wants when he uses the potty. Always speak calmly about this issue, no threats, no anger, etc.
