07/11 What’s Up, Doc?
Quote From: breang15This is a real condition that many kids have but it can be overcome. People cannot just assume the kids arent "potty trained" , it is different than that. It is easy to judge if you do not have personal experience with this. Become educated before making judgement. I do agree that the parents need to do more to help those boys overcome this. I only know of younger children (6 and under) who develop this and are afraid to sit on the toilet for some reason that needs to be figured out. These parents have let this go on way too long and I think maybe a bit of laziness on their part has allowed this to go on. I cannot believe you start out talking like you understand and feel for this family. Then you change and say that the parents have let it go to far. I too have a child that suffers from this. Unfortunately, she hasn't actually been diagnosed by a doctor. The doctors so far haven't done much for her. After reading more about this we are looking into other options. This again has nothing to do with what the parents have or have not done. We as parents do everything we can to help our kids. When it comes to something medical you have to find the right doctor that can actually help you and fix the problem. My daughter has been dealing with this since age 2 and is now 11. We have good times and then we have bad times. Bad times usually seem to come during times of stress. Trying to eliminate all stress from an 11 year olds life is virtually impossible. So you can either do some more research and decide what you actually think. But until you have actually dealt with something like this you need to have a little compassion and not put down the parents either. Parents can only do so much when they need medical help and the doctors don't always give the right help.
