MY 12 year old son keeps peeing his pants one purpose! what should I do I need help?

Question

It started at the begging of this year! and i have been payong alot of attention to him. IM bout ready to put him in diapers again. HE does it at school and at home and also wets the bed. can someone help me?

Answer 1

i woulde take him for a mental eval. if a child may have been sexually abused in any way or anything tramtic happen recently it can have a major effect on late night peeing and possible urination during the day hours. i would call around for other dr's opinions some times you need more opinions.

good luck

Answer 2

hahahaha look at this persons questions asked in their profile. Theyre just a sick freak with a screwed up imagination.

Answer 3

Take him to the therapist!

Answer 4

Sometimes children that have been sexually abused will do this as their way of reaching out for help.  Even those that have not been abused can still be extremely depressed and wet themselves to cry for help.  I would try to have a serious talk with him because I don't think it's an infection and I don't think he needs to be embarassed by talking to his friends or teachers about it.  I think that would make the situation worse.  Kids are similar to animals in the ways that they react to emotional problems.  An animal that want more attention may rip the couch apart, and if they feel neglected they may pee on the floor.  Kids do similar things to get your attention.  Cutting, wetting themselves, destroying their belongings, physically abusive to others....  Unfortunately, and I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but I think you may be unintentionally part of the problem.  Pay more attention to him and make him know that even though he's only 12 he's still valued and that you are worried about him.  I hope you fix this soon for his sake.

Answer 5

This doesn't sound like a fun situation D:

Answer 6

Let him wear those same pissy clothes until they itch like h**l.  He probably will stop.  He is to old to be doing that.

Answer 7

Take him to a another doctor. There must be a reason why he is doing this. At 12 years old he is not doing it to get attention.

Answer 8

There could be a number of reason this is happening has he an infection a 12 year boy is very unlikely to want to pee his pants check it out with the doctor & work your way from there.. Sometimes a child who has been abused will wet themself..

Answer 9

That's serious..it seems he cannot control himself.....

Answer 10

Take him to a chiropracter.  I have heard similiar issues that spinal adjustments can make a big difference.  No 12- year old wants to purposely pee their pants ~ be patient and love him and get him some help. Find out what is going on in his body....good luck!

Answer 11

Take him to the doctor!

Answer 12

so you have posted this question 4 different ways with a 9yr old 18yr old 14yr old & a 12yr old all who have problems wetting themselves.put them all in diapers and be done with it if this is for real .

Answer 13

get your doctor to write a referral to a child urologist.. the urologist will check him for any medical problem that he things it could be.. if he finds no medical problem ask the doctor to give you a prescription for a tablet called Tofranil.. it prevents bed wetting.  there is also a nasal spray that can be prescribed that prevents bedwetting too.. I would say it is all connected.. start with the urologist.. he needs to be checked immediately.. has he been checked for diabetes.. >?? this can cause constant trips to the bathroom also...

Answer 14

He is probably teased in school about wetting his pants, it's wierd. he's either gotb a very rare condition or a freaky manipulation skill.

Answer 15

teacher didnt let me go to the bathroom freshman year and i pist myself on purpose in front of the whole class.hes probably just being funny. if he does it in the house i would his *** thought

Answer 16

Ok here located in this text may be the solution for your problem.Reward.Ok when you were a kid what was the thing you wanted most?A cool item reward to show off to your friend well tell the child that if he tells mommy when he has to pee to tell you and that he will get a candy.They love candy and this is my recommended reward, easy and affordable.So get him some nice gummy bears and tell him whats what.

Answer 17

Yes, you Do need help...

Anyway about your son - if you have potty trained him after age 1, that's why does he turn it back to you. If he pees, let him change the clothes and everything else. Don't mess with him. just let him pee and he will soon understand that no audience doesn't make peeing interesting. Oh, and stop feeding him with McDonald's and every food full of hormones and crazy stuff which make out these thought out disorders like ADHD and ODD, etc.

Answer 18

needs a good *** whipin

Answer 19

he is probably thriving off of the negative attention.

you should not scold him or anything, maybe just tell him to clean up and change.  12 years old is too old for yelling or spanking to work

if he continues, put him in diapers and send him to school like that.  on gym day.  inform his teachers.  see how he likes that.

he might actually have a problem, though.  Maybe it is psychological.  His doctor should be able to help if that's so.

Answer 20

Ground him until he stops.
