My 8 year old son is still not potty trained. I have been trying to get him to go on the toilet for 6 long years but he refuses. I am unable to find diapers big enough to fit him now and am really tired of him peeing and pooping all over the house. I was wondering.... the next time he craps on the floor, if I rub his nose in it and throw him outside, will he finally get the point? This worked for my puppy, will it also work for a child?

No, he is not a special needs child. He is just a lazy lil bastard!

That is so inhumane. The obvious answer is to build a fence around the poopy area, and don't him out until the poop turns white.

Have you had him checked out by the doctor to confirm there isn't a physical reason for this? If there is nothing physically wrong with him, it's a power struggle between two strong people. :) Here's what I would do;
1. Start talking to him NOW about how when school starts, he's
going to go to school in "big boy" underwear. Read him books about the potty, etc. Do this in a positive way...no threats about what's going to happen if he throws a fit, has an accident, etc. Just act like "Here's what's going to happen as part of starting 3rd grade."
2. When you shop for school clothes, let him pick out his "new" underwear.
3. Give the teacher a heads up about this issue. Make sure there is a spare change of clothes at school.
4. Send him to school in underwear. Do NOT put a diaper on him or let him take a diaper to school.
5. Be prepared...it may take a few "accidents" for him to transition.
6. PRAISE him. Even if he just has one accident for the day. Praise him!!
Good luck. Would love to hear how it goes!!

My first question is... Has your child been in a school setting, or has he been home schooled? If he is not in a public school setting maybe you need to consider doing that. he will then see that other children use the potty and he may want to. If he is home schooled, try to get him in a play group or something to where he is around other kids. Second... If you think using the same tactics that train a dog will work for a child, you need to think again!!! If you think that it is OK to rub your child's nose in the "crap" you need to read the books "A Child Called It", and the other books in that series and see what that child thought about having his face put in "crap". Third... Is your child a special needs child maybe you should seek help from a counselor that can show you how to deal with this problem. If he is not a special needs child, you need to take him to a doctor and see if there is a physical or mental problem that they can help resolve. I wish you luck with this problem. Maybe you could try Goodnites pull ups for him. They come in bigger sizes.

Are you definite that she does have an understanding of WHEN she desires the toilet? I imply as a substitute than making a choice on to not use the toilet might she be genuinely having 'accidents'. If she is just not recognising the need for the toilet or is unable to control her bladder then she wants to see the wellbeing tourist or doctor. Some youngsters with studying difficulties also have extend in toilet coaching. If she is simply selecting not to use the bathroom then her mum needs to find out what her fear is of precisely and to try to support her with that. Let her select whether or not t use a potty or a toilet. Get her a child's bathroom seat to suit on the grownup one. Does she have slightly step to place subsequent to the toilet to aid her climb on to the bathroom and to rest her toes on so that she feels extra comfortable? By way of profitable her (sticky label or candy) for just sitting on the bathroom/potty in spite of whether she does something, even supposing she only sits there for a couple of seconds. Once she sees it as a optimistic experience she shall be more inclined to take a look at and will stay for longer. Do not assume too much to start with and allow her to work at her own p.C.. Be sufferer. Do not scold for accidents but provide lots of praise for small achievements. If there aren't any medical issues then she will get there in the end.

well first of all rubbing a childs nose in poo and throwing them outside is child abuse, secondly is he a normal child or is he special needs? if he is a special needs child as someone who specializes in this for help, if he is not maybe there is something that he is afraid of besides being thrown outside. and once a child enters pullups they are no longer called diapers, they make pull ups for larger children and they sell them at the market if he is beyond this they have adult size pants too so that is no excuse. If you need help and have none you might consider asking social services to intervene for you and your son's sake, because the way that you are reacting is not good for him especially if you are doing this if front of him.

First I dont think you should be calling your son a bastard. next maybe you should take him to the dr there might be a serious problum with his bowls. I then think you need to get help with your self for you cant be good for him if you want to rub his nose in it maybe he doing this for some attention and that the only way you give him any.

Your son is not a dog and if you treat him as such, he will resist even more. I would seriously go and talk to his doctor about this.There is probably either some underlying issue going on with him. He's definitely old enough to understand where to go, but he's making a choice not to do it or there really is a possible medical condition with his muscles there that makes it hard for him to control it. Whatever the case may be, it needs to be resolved.
good luck

Eight years is a long time for child not yet potty trained. What does his pediatrician say? If not, you need to change doctors and have that pediatrician refer him to a child pyschologist. And also you must be very supportive and patient, he is your son. Get help ASAP!

at 8 years old you should probably consider taking him to a psychologist at this point, because he is fully capable and is just chosing not too.
If you're even considering rubbing his nose in it then his problems probably stem from you. How could you let him go this way for so long? Do they change his 'diaper' at school?

I think that you need to grow up and learn that life is TOO SHORT. Use your time more wisely, you might be able to say you did something profitable in life, before it's all over. If this is a true question, I think that time will make it better. Before you know it, it'll be a past problem that really seemed silly after all.
