[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 749300, member: 1233"] Sudden onset of this can be a very bad sign. Your son probably won't tell you what is behind this. If he even knows. It is a very serious symptom that MUST be fully checked out. Who has he been alone around in the last months before this started? This is a VERY abnormal thing for a 10 yo to do. it is more than just "bad behavior". On the off chance that there is a physical cause, start taking him to the bathroom at regular times. Maybe every 1 1/2 to 2 hours while he is home, plus whenever you first get home and just before you leave. NOT fun with a 10 yo, but if you insist (tie it to his tv or video game time), he will go alone most likely. Be sure to stop him frequently while playing video games and watching tv so that he can go. Make him stay there until he goes. Don't make a huge stink about the mess. Just make him clean it up. I mean LITERALLY make him do his laundry. Make him scrub the carpet. Make him disinfect everything (1-2 Tablespoons bleach in a gallon of water will disinfect), or use a color-safe enzymatic carpet cleaner so animals won't urinate on the same spot (I always got the "Kids n Pets" brand enzyme cleaner(for carpets, laundry, etc... and it worked well). Be matter of fact about it, not angry if you can be. I would make sure that pottying inappropriately meant that the tv or game or whatever went off until it was all cleaned up. DO be aware that this is a major sign of POSSIBLE abuse. This is why he needs to see a doctor/neuropsychologist about this ASAP. Regardless of the "why", yelling at him won't be productive (hard not to do though!). I am sorry you are dealing with this. [/QUOTE]
