6 YO DS is refusing to go to school
He was sick last Thursday in School and was sent home
Was off friday (not sick) went back to school on Monday
He was sent home on Tuesday (no ill effects) and went WEdnesday and thursday and has refused to go today
He says his stomach is sore and he needs to do a Poo.
He has done this but still says he is sore and what happens if he poo in his pants.
There are no other symptons but he is well and eating well.
DH and I think it is a fear of pooing in his pants again and that is making him not want to go.
What can I do?
We have been to the doctors and he is a fussy eater so she has suggested a change in diet and given movicol in cases of constipation ( which he isnt at present)
We have tried to tell him he had a tummy bug and it happens but he is scared stiff of it happening again in school and thats why i think he doesnt want to go.
