My son is 4 years old and when at home he has no problems.. he tells us & does it well.. In school, he tends to do it in his pants and stays that way.. doesn't inform his teachers.. We did try changing the places and his classrooms also.. still the same behavior The day care he used to go to had a time set for him to do it after their nap time in the evening.. Need any suggestionst to change his timings from noon to either early morning or late evening.. Thanks, Chandra > My son is 4 years old and when at home he has no problems.. he tells > us & does it well.. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Need any suggestionst to change his timings from noon to either early > morning or late evening.. Well there are three problems here. 1) What is it? You need to be a little more specific. Don't be embarrassed. I am sure we all do it. 2) There is some reason why he doesn't want to poop at school. You need to find out what it is. 3) Even if you get him on a schedule so that he poops at home, he still going to have to go at school every now and then. That's why you need to figure #2. I think you also need to share more about his care arrangements. In most places, school starts around 8 and ends in the middle of the afternoon, not the evening. That may be part of the problem, too.

They become embarrassed and uptight about it and refuse to go. DH had that problem as a child and bodily functions seem to be a sensitive topic for his family. In my children's preschool, they reminded the children to go at set times every day. If the teacher doesn't normally do that, maybe she can start? DS refuses to poop at school, because they have one boys' toilet and he doesn't want anyone standing outside waiting for him. Not much I can do about that. <...> > DS refuses to poop at school, because they have one boys' toilet and he > doesn't want anyone standing outside waiting for him. Not much I can do > about that. Gee, I bet he has to wait at home and at school when he has to pee! I remember when I was a pediatric resident, one of our assignments was to stay with a school nurse for the. At one of the schools, a lot of boys came in to use the bathroom in the nurse's office. They didn't want to poop in the regular bathroom. Based on the bathrooms I have been in in middle schools, I can't blame them. Jeff > <...> > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > didn't want to poop in the regular bathroom.

At my nieces' preschool there is one large bathroom/toilet for all the kids (3-5 y.o.) to use. It's possible he may not want to poop in front of other kids for whatever reason, if that is the setup at his school. Hard to say as the OP does not say anything about the school's bathroom/toilet setup.

Maybe some of those flushable toddler wipes in his backpack would help. |
