My son will not use the toilet in school!!!!!

Ok it sauys education matters so i thought id post in here as its  schol issue really, my son will probably use the toilet in school around once in every 6 months, surely this cannot be good for him? and why? i mean the dryers are quieter in schools so surely it cant be that? but he wont go, im just worried about what hes doing because hes not having a pee.

  • I could never use school toilets - even now in VI form I'll only use the set furthest from anywhere people gather, and if I think there's somebody already there, I have to leave.

    For me it's a whole minefield - from the sudden noise of dryers (even the quiet ones), strong smells (I used to have a strong aversion of the smell of some disinfectants) and claustrophobic environments which are either very dark or dazzlingly bright plus the compulsory light that flickers and goes off without warning. And of course I didn't understand how you were supposed to use them for thier intended purpose while other people were in the room and still get very nervous.

    Perhaps you could discuss this with the school; disabled toilets are often more private and cleaner, so he may find using those less of an ordeal?
