Will kindergarten send home a child whom smells and has poo in their pants because they will not wipe?

Question

My son whom is six is diagnosed with a mood disorder. He refuses to wipe after a bowel movement. He often has a lot left in his pants so it looks as if he pooped himself, but does not. He just will not wipe. He is starting kindergarten in a couple weeks and I am just wondering if the school will tolerate this? Will they take him to the bathroom and help him wipe and change (I highly doubt it but just wanted to ask!)? Will they call me each time to come pick him up? I have tried everything to get him to wipe (having him clean his pants-he refuses, leaving him that way so others can make fun of him-he does not care. So I wipe it for him again so he will not smell like poo all day long. Do not know what else to do. He says it is nasty, discusting, and he will not touch it.

Answer 1

they probably will NOT tolerate this :(

but you can home school him if it is that bad?

i am just saying!

Answer 2

The school probably will not tolerate it and the other kids are going to make fun and tease your son relentlessly.  You need to deal with this problem, don't expect the school to.  

Answer 3

They will send him home or call you. He said it was disgusting right well, tell him to wrap his hand in the toilet paper and then wipe and show him how to clean his hands really good. Then reward him. Call him a "big kid"

Answer 4

YESSS!!! that happened to my little brother and he ended up getting held back. Oh and they will send home a child dear. But thats okay just talk to the teacher about it, and teach the child how to wipe themselves in a mature way.

Answer 5

I certainly understand about it being nasty & not wanting to touch it. However, he needs to understand that it is his responsibility to keep himself clean. That nasty stuff is what he produced and so he is responsible to dispose of it in a way that is acceptable to others. If he refuses to do this, he needs to understand that the consequences are that he cannot be around other people, which includes school.

Make school sound like the most fun in the world and not being there would be a terrible mistake, which of course it would. In fact, when he is at home not taking care of himself, don't allow him to come to the table or play outside his room. If he learns that you will take care of his messes from this early age, then he will only get worse, not to mention uneducated.

Don't do for him what he needs to do for himself, or you will continue to pay an increasingly heavy price.

Answer 6

They will call you to pick him up, and if it is a continuing problem they may take other actions (such as involving social workers to see if this is a problem you are causing through neglect).
