[QUOTE="emns, post: 765305, member: 33216"] No, I've only observed him doing this at home. At nursery school, they've informed me that he never informs them when he's pooped and instead tries to hide it, just like at home. He has some issues with things like seams and laundry tags on the inside of clothes. He finds that uncomfortable. I've asked him a few times when I've caught him doing it and why. But he just laughed at me. Lately, he's only been doing it in his room, and when I've seen him, I've gone in and told him to stop. But recently, he's been getting angry and wants me to leave his room. I try to keep an eye on him and change him as soon as I see that he's pooped, precisely because I know he won't tell me. I think maybe this has made him so secretive about it now, but I don't want him to go too long with it, even if I apply cream. I might be a bit overprotective, I've been told that many times. It's happened a few times when we've been out for a while, and when I try to help him take off his clothes when we get home, he gets angry and wants to keep them on. I thought his behavior was strange at first, but then I realized it was because he didn't want me to see that he'd pooped. He'd managed to keep it a secret while we were out and probably thought he could do the same when we got home. It might be a good idea to wait and see if he comes to me and asks for a new diaper when he needs one. I could pretend not to know that he's pooped and just let him be. Maybe I should act similarly when I see him rocking/sliding on his bum in his room? Instead of rushing in and telling him to stop, perhaps I should look away and not react at all to see if he gets tired of it? It might be better to try to take it a bit easier and not get provoked. At first, I thought he was trying to provoke me because he knows I easily get provoked, but now he's sneaking around with it in his room instead. I don't know how to act, it feels like everything just gets worse no matter what I do :( [/QUOTE]
