Not about discipline
Quote From: mrsparkerNo potty training the kids WHAT????? the kids will need Dr Phil for a long time. Thank God Dr. Phil is still young enough to give these kids the years of help they will need. I dont understand why the kids don't do it they are old enough to know to use the restroom. Don't they go to school?? Other kids are really mean don't they get teased? This is WAY WRONG! Until recently I could not understand why my youngest grandchild kept having "accidents" at age 7. His parents are firm but loving disciplinarians. This child was not a problem child. The Family practice Doctor had tried various methods with parents and child to solve this problem. It was not until a pediatric urologist saw him that the problem was recognized to be simular to your guest's. As a RN I did not know that chronic constipation from a very young age can result in distention of the rectal area and failure to sense fullness. I small child does not know what "normal "feels like. Imagine the stress the child goes through trying to perform a function he or she can no longer control. I am so happy I followed my children's lead and was not harsh with my grandchild, (even though I often thought they were not doing it right). We have to be careful not to so judgemental when we do not have all the information. This can be a life-long physical problem that does not have a quick solution. Be careful when you make hasty judgements. Grandma B
