Far too old for "potty training" forum so I'm posting this here if that's ok!
DS is nearly 5. He is driving us nuts with his toileting habits (or lack of!)
He always has accidents. Poo and wee. Usually at least one a day if not more. But he totally resists going to the toilet - if we suggest he has a try he has a full on screaming fit "I don't NEED the toilet"! And then inevitably has an accident. We have tried a reward chart.
Doctor has checked him out and apparently thinks there's nothing wrong medically. We have no other issues with him - he eats well, a reasonably good diet, is doing fantastically at school, behaves well, is very active - other than toilet problems! He has been referred to a paediatrician to rule out medical problems but dr thinks not. So assuming it's not medical, how on earth do we handle this?
He has accidents at school - comes out wet/soiled about three quarters of the time. School rarely notice and he doesn't tell them. When we have a day at home doing nothing it's not perfect, but better - when he's busy doing anything he just has accidents 9 times out of 10. We are fed up with cleaning up poo - please help!
