I Need Advice About Toileting Problems!

Is he peeing in his pants? like an accident then they're could be a medical problem and seek a dr.'s opinion but.....

if he's unzipping and aiming to pee on all these weird places I'd say he definately has some behavioral problems and would make him clean up his messes and do more than a timeout that is completely unacceptable and gross. That would drive me crazy I feel bad for you. Maybe he is doing this for attention.

My daughter at age 4 liked to be weird sometimes and sit on the toliet backwards and try and pee like a boy and I think it was a phase and curiosity and I explained to her if she stands up she will go all over my floor and her legs and she got the point. Some kids just have a curiosity.

Wow, sounds behavioral to me. What is it that changed a couple of weeks ago when he started? That would be the first thing to consider. If nothing there I guess I would not put up with it and take him out to buy Goodnites or something like that, and he would wear them till behavior changed. Not to be mean, I just would not put up with it. Sorry you are having problems and I wish you all the best. T.

C. you may try and encourage him when he does use the toilet with treats or a trip to McDonalds if he is good for a week and let him mark each day off on the calendar. Or reward him with something just special he would really enjoy. J.

My daughter is 3 1/2, turning 4 at the end of March. She just this week started having accidents again. We think it's because she is getting lazy and/or waits too long to go. she's gone 3 or 4 times in the past week and a half. All but one time it happened on the way to the bathroom. Two times she stopped to play with something else and it was like she forgot she was headed to go to the bathroom! I started making sure i asked her more frequently if she needed to go, and the other night I got her ready for bed and she went on the toilet and 10 minutes later she went on our couch! that was the last straw for me and i told her from now on there would be no more accidents, she's a big girl now and if it happened again there would be consequences like taking something away i.e. computer, tv, toys, etc. that seemed to have sunk in and we havn't had any for a few days. I am making sure to have her go more often, and I notice when I have her go, she goes alot, so I think she just waits too long. This may sound like your situation too. Maybe try taking something away from him, that might sink in a little more. Sounds like it's something that happens around this age!

Hello, although I have never had this happen, it most definatly sounds like a behavioral problem. Is there something that one of his older syblings recieved that he didn't or something new happen in the house that would have triggered the peeing? Have you asked him why he thinks its a good idea to pee everywhere? My only other sugestion woul dbe to say you have been potty trained since you are little but if you don;t stop I will have to give you a diaper and a bootle and take away all of you r big boy things if you are are going to act like a baby and not pee where you are supposed to. Godd luck and I hope he finds the toilet soon.

Wow, well you have a very creative little boy there! Yes, I think he does it for the pure joy of annoying you. I would continue with the time outs, and then make him help you clean up his mess. I think you have the right idea! Hopefully he will learn fast that time outs are not fun.

Is the bathroom lite up or is it dark. Could he be scared of going in it? I had a friend with a little boy that was scared of the dark & had like issues. Just a thought. Good luck!
