[quote=Anonymous]He needs a pediatric consult, to see if there's anything functionally wrong down there, or in his bloodwork, such as juvenile diabetes. One symptom of juvenile diabetes is frequent urination. Please don't treat this like a behavioral issue until you've got the medical part cleared up!

If he's physically healthy and this is a behavioral, then you'll have to potty-train (timed bathroom visits, consequences for messing up the house, etc), and assess whether there is neurodivergence: kids with severe ADHD or kids on the spectrum sometimes need additional explicit instructions and reminders, or sometimes need accommodations when going to the bathroom: perhaps something is scary in your bathrooms, such as the flush, or they don't like the contact of the seat, or they don't like being in confined space... it could be anything. A neurotypical kid will adapt, but a kid on the spectrum will not be able to do that unless you modify their environment somewhat then accompany them every step of the way.
