[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 71119, member: 3419"] Good! Great idea! I wouldn't be concerned. He's laying a guilt trip on you. Period. I don't know why the therapist needed a mtng. Kids do stuff like that. (Especially G'fg!) My son did that in his closet and in the wastepaper basket. The closet we decided was sleepwalking, because it hit the wall the height that a toilet might be. The wastepaper basket was defiance because we put him in Time Out. He had threatened to do it beforehand and well... we didn't really think he'd do it! Our son is 10 now and he went through this when he was 8 and 9. I think that after the age of 6, boys figure out that they can use certain parts of their anatomy for ... aggravating other people, having fun, or whatever! I was concerned for awhile and then the behavior passed. We tried to stay calm (yeah, right) and made him clean it up every time. Also, we gave him consequences every time. When he said "that's enough!" because he thought we were nagging, we told him he hadn't even begun to hear the worst of it and he could just stand there and be yelled at. He finally figured out that it wasn't worth it to go anywhere but the bathroom. Good luck with-your move. Please, don't worry so much. You don't need your son to reassure you about your being a good mom. [/QUOTE]
