[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you asked him (calmly) why he does this? He’s old enough to give you an explanation - it’s likely control or sensory related.[/quote] Yes. Multiple times. He'll either say, "Don't talk to me about it," and refuse to answer...or he'll parrot back something he's heard us say at some point but is clearly not true, i.e. he can't answer any additional questions about it. He was constipated at one point, and I think that let to general fear of the potty. But that was a while ago. And it doesn't explain why he doesn't mind going at school. The only concrete comment he's made is that the potties at school are smaller. We've put stools in front of our toilets. I've said it was okay to use the kiddy potty. I'm at the point where I'd be willing to call a contractor and have a kid-size toilet installed in our house (only kinda joking). If it is a sensory issue, what's the strategy for dealing with it? Who would I even go to for help?[/quote]
