[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 37204, member: 1722"] I would talk to the doctor about continuing the stool softener. Has he been seen by a pediatric gastroenterologist to rule out an obstruction or other physical abnormality? Encopresis can be pretty serious (and emotionally charged!) if it gets out of hand. Extra clothing at school can help him from being marginalized. But he does need to learn how to properly clean himself so that the odor won't offend others. Disposable underpants will help save on laundry. As for cleaning up, he needs to learn the basics on how to be responsible (no hiding dirty clothes, etc) but not be made to feel blamed. That could emotionally hard on him. [/QUOTE]
