Toddler started to strip naked going toilet

NAS76010

Hi,

My son 4 year old has recently started to strip naked when going toilet. I have tried to discourage this but it seems to be getting worse. He has just started school And they said he has started doing it there. He has been great when going toilet until recently and never had any problems with this. Does anyone have any tips on how to stop him from doing this?

Best wishes and thank you in advance

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your response.

    He doesn’t do a. Number 2 at school either just a wee. It first started with him only needing to get naked when doing a poo which I thought was ok because he only did a number 2 at home and his uncles and dad does the same thing as grown adults lol. It is now he is doing it even with a wee where he does try to get naked at school as well. He is in main stream school but has a 1:1. I just want to try and stop it as it is a new thing.

    Hello, apologies for my late reply. I’m not the best at keeping up with messages. 

    You may have already tried these suggestions…

    Could your son have visual cards in school/home that show him step by step pictures of going to the toilet? Such as, close door, undo trousers to ankles, pants down to ankles, sit on toilet, wipe, pants up, trousers up, open door, wash hands.

    Does the school have a separate disabled toilet? He could show the one to one his visual to show he needs support in the bathroom and then he can have access to the disabled toilet that way there won’t be a chance of him being undressed in front of other pupils.

    Although it’s easy for me to say but He may also grow out of it. He’s still very young.
