toileting

Can anyone help? My 6 yr old son will not go to the toilet! He used to poo in his pants but even this has stopped this last week or so, he just holds on & I'm sure he must be at the very least uncomfortable. I'm really worried about the damage he is doing to himself. It's not a case of can't go but won't go so laxatives are not going to help. Thank you! x

  • Hi, my son was like this for Years, and only over the last 3/4 years has he started to go, he is all-most 23 now. He was afraid of the toilet and NOTHING would make him use it, he could go weeks without a poo. I had to just accept it after trying all sorts of bribes ect. He is still in nappie pants But does use the toilet now. Every child is different :) Have hope.
