  • hi teardrop, first advice....relax and calm  ....some children revert back...my daughter did it with walking and talking,dont know what triggers if any triggers there are, but it did happen. i will  say she "grew out of it" and was up walking and talker quicker, really she did. started running everywere. tripping every 2 seconds and couldnt understand a word that was coming out ouf her mouth, hahaha!!!

    as for the drinks my lass has just started asking for juice now and she is away to be 7. so i wouldnt fret on that one to much. if you know he hasnt had a drink in a while, bring him a drink,but try not too makea fuss over it. if he drinks it impliment a reward system. if not leave it for a while, hide away (but still within sight) and see if he goes to drink by himself.

    for the pee and poo if there is a concern, make an apointment with gp, as they will be able to rule out any diet etc  (now dont fret its some advice which might help, not to worry you  ) for actually doing the toilet in potty or "big boy" toilet. again not to make a fuss, and there are lots of helpful tools out there to be used, books, reward chart's, toys.. its just finding the one that works.

    i hope you can find this advice usefull or helpfull. and good luck to you both.
