[QUOTE="buddy, post: 589958, member: 12886"] Hi. I'm so sorry, i know when my son was six to eight he'd still have accidents at times and sometimes it seemed so oppositional and I remember the frustration. And that was not often so i can only imagine what you're going through. So, you feel it's not medical. But, it could be a subtle issue like a sensory integration disorder. Has he ever shown either sensory seeking behaviors (being loud, touching things, licking things our putting things in his mouth, running around, stomping, smashing...etc) and/or does he avoid sensory stimuli (covers ears, leaves places that bug him, doesn't like textures, picky about food, ).....some kids need deep touch instead of soft, won't change clothing for different weather (only likes short sleeves for example) Some kids with sensory integration disorder have bladder and or bowel behaviors. An occupational therapy evaluation could help you check, just so you could know... Assuming he has control, bathroom issues can be the ultimate power struggles. A toilet schedule is a good idea if it doesn't become a punitive experience. Are his bowels hard at all from the medications? Taking something like colace could help him have more control. if that is an issue. You've probably checked that out though. At ten, he should be able to clean himself up. Why are you rinsing the pants out? I remember rinsing my siblings diapers in the toilet when I was in second through fifth grades. Have you tried that? Have you ever read The Explosive Child by Ross Greene? He has great ideas for working with oppositional kids. That could be a good start.... Not much help, but thought I'd throw those ideas out... (i guess I'm assuming there is no psychological trauma like sexual abuse etc when writing my response.....because that would be something that obviously would need professional help) [/QUOTE]
