Potty training

do u talk to him ...bout the problem that u guys are having. or how bout give him reward..if he goes to toilet by himself - give him sum sweets. maybe it will works, give it a try

My 8 year old son still dribbles in his pants sometimes. For some reason, he waits until it's almost too late to use the bathroom. And when he's at school, I think he's so busy he just doesn't think to do it. It's very frustrating. And when we're at home I'll tell him to use the bathroom if I think he hasn't gone in several hours and he'll argue with me that he doesn't have to go. Yet when he finally goes into the bathroom, I hear him going. Ugh! Could it possibly be that your stepson is just "busy" and forgets or procrastinates? I don't think that is all that uncommon, especially in boys.

well, it is quite strange for a six year old to be doing this. First, i would go to another doctor and get another opinion, maybe your doctor was jsut being "lazy" and didn't want to get to the root of the problem? (or, maybe not, but at least you will have peace of mind about it) and if there is no medical reason, do some investigating, there must be some kind of trauma in his life causing him to do this? Is he doing it for attention? Ask him why he does it. Also, make him help clean it up.. if he truly is being lazy, then he won't want to do it anymore if he has to wash himself up and wash the laundry he makes. Good luck to you and yoru son..
