Why can't I get my 6 year old son to use the bathroom and what can I do?

Question

My sister told me that he stop using the bathroom due to his little brother.I don't think that that's the case.He went to see a doctor a month ago to see if he has A.D.H.D. instead the doctor asked if he was using the bathroom in the bathroom or somewhere else.After that,He started using the bathroom on his-self,on the rug,kitchen floor,and peeing on his toys.I'm out of ideas.Please someone help.

Answer 1

he's seeking for attention, and if you just had a baby it might be that your sister is right.

explaining to him that only babies pee on the floor and on toys, won't do it. he's probably trying to be/ act like one.

you have to be firm. make him clean his own mess & punish him each time he does it. for example time-out in a room, or take away a favourite toy from him. be consistent. that's the most important thing.

Answer 2

Anytime he pee's on something give him a timeout or take away a toy.

Also something that works

Start a star chart. buy some star stickers and draw out a grid on some paper. Then any time he pees in the toilet put a star on the chart. when he has 7 (or whatever) stars on the chart he wins a treat.

He'll soon really like going to the toilet!!!

Hope that helped!

Answer 3

Answer 4

What jumps to mind is TROLL. You joined today and make a question like this.

Answer 5

Well what worked with my brother is that my mom's friend told him that when he turned (whichever age, lets just say 6 and a half), he had to use the bathroom and only the bathroom because only little kids can use other things.

hope i helped!
