Soiling issues

ShaunaB

Hi all, my son is 4 years old and over the last 3 week he has completely stopped going to the toilet for a poo. He has been soiling at school and at home and when he does it there is no reaction from him, he won't speak about it (he does have limited speech and understanding off speech too) and is not bothered by it at all. He is currently in a main stream school as I am fighting for a diagnosis for him and  down to this soiling everytime he does it in school I am called to bring him home as they are not allowed to clean him up. He has also been bullied by other children. Although he doesn't understand this bullying it's really getting to me! Has anyone been through anything similar to this with their child and do you have any advice on what I can do with him to try and get him back in to going to the toilet? (P.S he will go for wee's no problems at all) thanks guys!

  • Hi - I haven't had to deal with a situation like this.  There may be posts if you do a search, also there may be some info you can find via the home pg.  I wonder if the soiling is related to school?  He must be finding it difficult there. When my son was little + he didn't want to be somewhere he'd say he wanted to go to the toilet, which got him out of the situation.  Cd there be a connection similar to that with your son, if he understands he gets to go home if he soils?  Maybe he thinks if he soils at home then he might not have to go to school?  I know I'm probably wrong about all this but the thought occurred so I've mentioned it.
