[quote=Anonymous]You need to do what you do with a toddler.

Since he's not mature enough to deal with bathroom breaks on his own, set a timer and make him sit on the toilet for 10 minutes every hour on the hour. Whatever he's in the middle of doing he stops and sits on the toilet. No exceptions. No excuses. If he complains increase the time to 15 minutes. No activities. No going to friends houses. Nothing except school. If he has a younger sibling who is potty trained make sure one parent takes the sibling somewhere fun while the other parent stays home with him because he isn't potty trained. If it's truly bc he doesn't care - make him care. Take the sibling to his favorite restaurant and to a movie he wants to see. He doesn't get to go until he goes a week without pooping his pants.

Yes, the first weekend you do this will be hell. But this should solve itself that first weekend unless it's a medical issue.

Also, make sure he knows that once he does go a week without soiling himself he will get a celebratory dinner and a fun outing. [/quote]
