wetting

Quote From: hplotts

I am having a problem with my 5 year old son, he keeps wetting his pants for no reason other than sheer lazyness, he would rather pee his pants than walk 20 steps and go to the toilet.  What am I to do?

I would probably start with a visit to the doctor...he/she can rule out any physical problems...there could be something psychological...if nothing is physically wrong, ask the doctor about possible evaluation for that...how long has this been going on?

I have had this same issue with my daughter. I basically just do not make a big deal of it at all. I keep a plastic sheet on her bed, and if she wets we strip the bed wipe down the sheet and thats it. I also try to use positive reinforcement- If she goes 10 days without wetting we can get a prize. This has not happened yet so that leads me to believe that she does not have control. I share your frustration. The other thing that seems to decrease the frequency is no liquids- ice, water, ice cream etc after 7:00pm.
