What to do about my 6 year old pooping in his pants?
I gave this same advise to someone else because Im sorry but I think he is just being lazy especially since he doesn't care to be in poopy pants. I would definately put him in diapers no questions asked and keep him in diapers until he can stay dry or mess free for atleast a week or two. He can wear diapers and he can go to school and play all he wants to. Let him play with his friends while in diapers and a tee shirt, I guarantee it wont last long and hey if he keeps on, then thats less laundry you have to do and he can continue what he wants to do diapered. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior. In my opinion, having him wear diapers would not be treating him like a baby or giving him a reason it would be taking care of the situation since he chooses not to use the bathroom. I would definately take stock in pampers size seven diapers. Don't worry about what other people think either, its not their child. You are the one that has to deal with messy smelly pants, excess laundry, as well as a mess to clean up in the house(floors, furniture etc.) Especially since you are at your wits end, put him back in diapers.
Autistic children and potty issue?
6 y.o. autistic daughter-she won't pee at school, no matter how many bribes we offer. She holds it til she gets home, which is only half day kindergarten. But next year will be 6 hours and I'm scared she'll get an infection if she holds it that long. I don't know who her teacher will be next year so I don't know who to ask. Anyone have any ideas?
What to do about 6 year old still pooping his pants?
I have a 6 year old that still poops his pants. Which is gross. I have tried everything, I have had him earn tv and game time his favorites things to do. I have tried a sticker chart, I have tried going potty every hour for two months, I have tried taking things away, I have tried doing fun things when he goes. I am at a loss here. He knows that he is pooping in his pants and when he needs to go. For instance when waking up for a nap he will lay in bed fully awake and not get up so he can poop in his underwear! Another instance he pulls his underwear up his butt when he needs to poop. He is like a toddler who goes to the corner to poop their pants. But in his own way. Part I can't figure out is that he poops on the toilet sometimes by himself. And if playing video games or watching tv does not want to have to go to the bathroom so he will pee himself. It's like a convience thing. My last trick was saying we would go get him some pull ups, because only babies poop their pants. I know I could do better then this but I am starting to get frusterated and am all out of ideas. As far as doctors go, he has gone to them and they thing maybe his anal walls are stretched out. But that having him retrain himself on when his body tells him to go will help. That is what the going potty every hour is supposed to help with. Which is supposed to start helping within 2 weeks. Someone please give me suggestions, I am out of ideas. Or even situations that are related so I have some clue of what I can try to do to help him.
How do I train my 3 1/2 yr old son to use the bathroom at night and not wet the bed?
I have a 4.5 year old boy who still doesn't wake up to pee. The Dr. said it's normal. Not to stress out about it. We just put pull ups on him before he goes to bed and thats that. You don't want to force the issue or make a big deal of it. There aren't many adults with this problem so almost everyone eventually grows out of it. If you son is anything like mine, he can sleep through anything. A 10 piece band could go through the room and nothing. So kids (boys especially) who are deep sleepers sometimes delay nighttime potty training. I wouldn't worry about it. It will eventually happen. Good luck!
My 6 year old feels her cleaning after potty is not sufficient, and ask me to clean once more. What should I do?
We had the same issue with my daughter brushing teeth and with wiping her butt.The solution was basically the same for both, but brushing was a bit more complex, so I will go with that just for illustration sake. When it was time for her to be able to do them all by herself, I would say "Tonight is your turn to brush alone. I will watch and see if you do it good enough." I watched her brush her teeth and would say "You missed a spot" (even if she didn't) and over the course of a week or two she would "miss" fewer and fewer spots. Then I moved to letting her brush alone, and she would come to me when she is done. I look into her mouth and point to a random tooth and say "Do this one a bit more"After a while of that, when she comes to say "I'm done brushing", I would say "Ok, point to all the teeth that you brushed." She would confirm that she brushed all of them, top, front and back. I said "OK! Good job."She gradually built up confidence that she was doing good.The same thing for her wiping her bottom, just fewer steps. I started by saying "Let me see." Then say "Oh you missed a little bit. Wipe it again." Then gradually just moved to "Looks clean!", then moved to "Do *you* think you did a good job? Yes? OK, No need for me to check. I'm sure it is OK." Once in a while if she still felt scared that it was not good enough, I would "check" and say "Looks good"Of course, now the problem is that she sometimes "forgets" to wipe as she gets older and lazier. :)
How can I train my 6 year-old dog to stop using my rugs to go potty?
Potty training can be hard in some dog breeds and easier in others. But whether your dog is young or old mixed or pure, you can definitely still toilet train them. Your dog may have developed this behavior as a learned behavior. But i also do not know the history of your dog. If the dog has been health checked and come back clear then the issue would be either the dog was never taught to use the toilet or it thinks this is where the toilet is. That is where a learned behavior can come from. The best way to potty train a older dog is to teach it to use the toilet the exact same way you would a puppy. If the dog has no bladder issues, it will learn to hold its bladder for a certain amount of time. After a certain amount of time of you taking the dog out to the toilet extend the periods slowly when you decide to take the dog outside. Your does not need a specific schedule once you have trained it but if its a indoor dog it may be a wise idea too train the dog to let you know when it needs the toilet. If your dog has a ritualistic behavior before he or she is about to go take note of that so you know when its time to let the dog out. Also remember to give plenty of rewards or praise. I also would remove the rug for a while and make sure to spray it with a non ammonia based cleaner. As your pet will likely come back again. I have a attached a link for you about urine stains and soiling. And yes you will get your rug back eventually”. Dont worry i have a cheeky kitten who liked to go potty elsewhere too. I wish you all the best with your dog good luck.Urine stains and soiling - cleaning up
What can I do about my 6 year old daughter pooing in her pants?
Do you know if your daughter was sexually abused by someone? I worked with a lot foster children and this behavior is usually associated with sexual abuse. We had one child who would smear the poop on the toilet, bath tub, walls etc. and her brother used to try to eat it. If you have any suspicions of her being left alone with someone who could have hurt her then you need to talk to her and ask some questions. She is a little young for her to tell her all the details about sex but ask some general questions about if anyone has ever done anything to hurt her, or asked her to keep a secret, has anyone said that they would hurt someone if she told a secret...General phishing questions. I sure hope that this isn't the reason but if you have any concerns then you need to find out asap! Anyone else familiar with these type of behaviors might suspect abuse also and that is why social services is being called. Good Luck.
My 6 year old daughter pooping her pants??!!?
i posted this in grade schooler but decided to post it again hoping for answers!! my oldest daughter is 6 years old, her birthday was in december. and i'm starting to feel like her potty training never "stuck". i trained her when she was 2 1/2 or 3 just like everyone else. but it seems like for the past 3 years since then she will have on and off for like a month long stretches. for a month or so she'll be like an average child, no accidents, not even bed wetting, perfectly fine. then for a month or so she'll be like a toddler, changing her underwear twice a day. today she was going into the playroom to play and i casually said, "if you have to go potty please go" because she looked a little funny. but she said she was fine. 15 minutes later she went running in the bathroom and pulled down her pants and a huge poop fell on the floor, she had pooped her pants! is this normal? does this happen to other 6 year olds? i have asked friends and no one else seems to be having this problem! it's been going on now since she was like 3, on and off. sometimes she's perfectly fine, sometimes not. i've tried everything, rewarding her for doing well, punishing her when she doesnt do the right thing. i'm at the end of my rope. please help!!!
Why is my six year old son pooing in secret and not going to the toilet for it?
Lots of possibilities here.One is that this is an ongoing issue that has never been mastered since the start of potty training. Early child health nurses can offer solutions here.Two is that it’s a recent behaviour and is related to trauma of some sort. In which case you need to address the source.Three is that he’s constipated. In which case you need to seek medical help.Four is that he has some psychological issues wrapped up with pooing. In which case you need to seek medical and then psychological help.
