Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 <<Matt just turned 12. He is very reliable voiding. (Except at night). He is in control of his bowels-control is not the problem. Placement is. He REFUSES to go on the toilet. >> Hi, Everyone........is Matt afraid of the toilet? If he sees his poop going down the hole during flushing, perhaps he thinks he will too. Just an idea. <<He can hold urine forever and gets very upset when we insist on him using the bathroom. Karyn>> Karyn....Gareth is the same way about holding his urine...always has been. We got to the point that we tell him to go before each meal. " G. we're going to eat. You have to go to the bathroom first. " At school, I told them he has to use the bathroom before lunch. Fortunately, he likes to eat....so the bathroom isn't an issue. BUT...if I don't tell him to go, he can hold it forever before running in there like a maniac!!! I always worry about bladder infections.....something he had at a younger age. Take care, Everyone.
