Help! Im babysitting and have a problem kid.?

Question

The 4 year old boy im watching says he pooped and needs new undies. well after awhile of changing his undies and stuff i figured out he is semi soiling himself. Like just enough to get a stain on his undies and he soiled on a roll of toilet paper.

He wont listen to us when we tell him "NO" he just pulls his undies down and plays with himself and ignores us.

What can i do??

Answer 1

You need to be watching this child not on Y/A!

Answer 2

I sure hope he is bed by now.....It sounds like either he was afraid to p**p or was trying to keep your attention and avoid going to bed. I would put him in bed and help him wind down by reading a story or telling a quiet story to him to get him to calm down.

Answer 3

First of all.  BABYSIT and not be on the internet.  That wouldn't be acceptiable if you were babysitting my children.    I think he is looking for some attention.  Play a game, read a story.

Answer 4

Okay- if you can do this with a straight face it might work. My doctor told me to tell this to my son was havign trouble potty training.

Your poops are sad because they are not going in the potty. See, your poops go under the house and play with all the other poops- Moms and Dad and your brothers and sisters! They are sad if they cant go down the pipes and play!

We even got some bath confetti (or candy sprinkles, except Ben doesnt know that they are candy) to throw in the potty while we wave bye to the poops!

Also, the doctor told me that sometimes kids are afraid of pooping because it has hurt to p**p in the past. Then, they try to hold in the p**p and it makes it so that they leak just a little- the way you described. In that case, he will need to pass a big p**p. If he is saying his tummy hurts this could be the problem. Bribe him to make a big p**p!

Answer 5

it is natural for a baby  to play with him self as long as it is not some thing you think some one might be doing to him and put a pamper on him if he pees let him sit in it until he goes to the bath room or ask you to take him because baby's don't like to be wet

Answer 6

Tell him you will put in a diaper if he doesn't stop and put the TP somewhere where he can't get it.

He is probably doing this to get attention.

Answer 7

put him to bed and tell him strickly that this is the LAST pair of undie he get and that after that you sorry but there is no more and he will have to sleep in them.. and shut the door.

Answer 8

get a diaper!

Answer 9

I would see if there are any diapers or pull ups around. At four, children sometimes still wear diapers to bed in case of bedwetting. Then, give him a glass of warm milk and read him a bedtime story.  If he still doesn't calm down at least give Mama a call and fill her in.

Answer 10

Unless he has a touch of diarrhea...Duct tape his diaper on and tell his mom, with the evidence.  Do not pay any more attention to the pooping.  Distract him with a game or a book.  If he says he pooped again, leave it.  Pray they never ask you again.
