[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 234898, member: 6546"] Hello Yoyomama-- I went through this with my daughter when she was in first grade...so I can understand how frustrated you must feel! At the time, my daughter knew how to use the toilet...she simply chose not to. AND she used her bodily functions as a way to express her anger--soiling not only herself--but choosing to use other things as the toilet, such as her toy box or her fluffly carpet. To this day...I have no idea why dshe suddenly decided not to use the toilet any more. It seems unthinkable to me that she would "go" on her own toys--but that's what she did. She also sometimes used decorative boxes as her 'toilet' and then kept them in her toy box....and when I would clean her bedroom I would discover these fancy little boxes filled with disgusting 'souvenirs'. Ugh--so gross!! When my child started behaving this way...I turned to the pediatrician, whose only solution was to hand me a pamphlet about toilet-training. Talk about frustrating! And rewards/punishment systems definitely had no effect. Finally, not knowing what else to do...we took away all of her regular underwear and put her back into diapers. While she did not seem to be embarassed at all by the smells, or wetness, or anything else--the diapers (and the fact they they were so obvious under her clothes) embarassed her into doing her "business" in the toilet. I don't know whether the same solution would work for you--but it might be worth a shot. At any rate--I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Hang in there! Best, --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
