[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 619172, member: 14557"] Bittykitties: That does make sense, but I feel that this little guy's problem is not in those things. He does well in toileting process and he is also very good in hurrying. It would just be better if he started the hurrying minute or even fifteen second earlier. Most of his accidents happen when he is already hurrying. I mean, it is not enough that you reach the toilet in time, you still need to have time to take down your pants and take a seat. That is also why 'dry checks' are not really relevant. He is either dry or trying to deal with wet pants (yes, he would like to hide his accidents and does at times hide the wet pants etc.) When we tell him to go, we don't actually ask if he needs to, just tell him he needs to before we move to this or that activity. I kind of think he either has problems to recognize the need to go as early as most kids his age or he tries to put it off till he can't (that is certainly the reason he soils in day care, he tries to hold till the end of the day and back home and that doesn't end well. It also causes him some constipation problems, but certain foods (which he even likes) seem to help to make that a big issue.) [/QUOTE]
