[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 235187, member: 3419"] Hi YoYo, funny, I just posted something similar on a new thread. I really answered the question myself but wanted some warm fuzzies. :) My son is a lot better these days, but I don't know if it's anything we've done, emotional maturity on his part, or a change in diet. Or all 3. We got wheat out of his diet. (He cheats, but I never cook with-it and if we go to McDonald's, he gets a burger with-no bun.) I add fibre to his drinks when he isn't looking. He flat out refuses to drink it straight down. He is in denial. Always. I like Marg's idea of taping the M&Ms to the wall as an incentive. Never mind your son's chronological age in regard to rewards. Do whatever you have to do. We use candy incentives, too. :) I made it a daily routine to check my son's underwear. I had him come up to me and let me smell his butt. If it smelled, I took it one step further and pulled back the waistband and looked. If it was soiled, he had to take it to the laundry, put in in the washer, and then go to the bathroom and wash his butt (not necessarily in that order :) ). He hated to have me smell his butt. It got to the point where I could just say, "Well, looks like I'm going to have to do a smell check today," and he'd immediately go wash. You've got to be persistent. It's got to be a routine. Don't keep changing the rewards or punishments because then he surely won't get it. We're doing the same thing now with-my son ... he's urinating into the sink. Or something. You get rid of one problem, and another crops up. Sigh. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
