Hes been good for over a year, going to the toiilet regulary etc. But recently he has began to wet himself again. This morning he pooed himself, i so dont know what to do as i do not want to put him back in pull-ups. I cant quite understand why he has taken a step back with this sort of thing, we ask him regularly and he has easy access to the toilet, so why is it beginning to become a problem again. The problem started in school, where he would be coming home in the school taxis wet, i addressed the school, even with sending spares, just in case. They say hes not getting bullied and there has been no dramatic change to the lifestyle he has at school at home, so what is going wrong?

School may say that there are no problems, but teachers and care workers don't see EVERYTHING. Perhaps your child is feeling down. My son did exactly the same thing. He had been dry for almost a year and he started weeing and pooing himself. It tuned out, after much talking with my son and and partner, that he was missing us when we were at work. He was feeling neglected and so we spent time with him, trying to coax him back on the loo. It took time but it worked and now he's dry day AND night. Don't be too hard on him or yourself. Just have patience and he'll be back on the loo in no time.

It is not as unusual as you may think. Toilet training like all training sometime lapses, but it also may be the childs way of gaining attention. It would not be a conscious effort by the child but a reaction to a set of circumstances.
1. Give the child more attention when they are not in need. When is that?
3. Linked with above you need to establish scheduled times for using the toilet. For number 2s, put the child on the toilet after breakfast and read them a story or something to distract from the event. Praise the child on production! Have a pit stop at set times during the day as previously described.
Your problem (it is not the childs problem will go away very quickly)
kindest regards tim

Even if the school says he is not being bullied, he still could be, especially if that is when the problem started. He could just simply be nervous about something.
How old is your son? Unless you rule out the medical problem, I would definitely say you may want to visit his school one day and sit in on some of the sessions or play time. That way you can actually see what is going on. Does he do it at home during the weekends or with you on days away from school?

My daughter seemed to have the hang of going to the potty but then decided she didn't want to do it anymore. Then out of no where she decided to use the potty again all on her own. But she was just a year and a half, it sounds like your son is probably older, no? You say he was using the toilet fine for a year? That seems different than my daughter's stubbornness since he was already so consistent.
A guy friend told me that when he was little he used to poo & pee in his pants all the time because he was having so much fun playing that he didn't want to miss out on anything and he'd just hold it until he simply couldn't anymore. Maybe that's what's going on.
Still, I'd definitely check with your MD.
Good luck!

its not uncommon for a child to take a step back with potty training, even after a year. There doesnt have to be major change to upset a child it could be something really small that seems no big deal to you.
If i were you i would play this down, dont scold him, praise him when he stays dry. Try a star chart, if he comes home dry/clean he gets a star then a reward when he manages to collect 3 stars(dont make the goals to hard at first). Good luck and dont worry i have worked with children for 10 years and it is very common.

How old is he, s lot of kids take a step back for a while.
has he been at school long? are they doing new and exiting things at school that he is getting so engrossed in that he forgets to go? (one of my daughters did this for a while we had to refuse to allow her to use the computer without going to the toilet first as this was a regular time/place for her to have an accident)
dont make a big issue out of this (i am not saying you are ) as this could him to become anxious, maybe he should be reminded to go just before comming home from school.
good luck

I was a regular wetter in school and everyone tortured themselves wondering why..was I bullied..unhappy..loose bladder? The truth was I was crushingly shy about letting people know I needed to go. I found it intensly private, so I tried to hold off until I could go discretely without anyone knowing. Of course the puddles on the classroom floor were a bit of a give away. Maybe, like me, he does not like being asked and would rather deal with it himself, privately.
Just a thought...
