He hasn't had any tramatic thing happen and he doesn't have a bladder infection. Not sure if it's just because he's being lazy or what? I have an appt to see a specialist but not til next month. It happens about 4 out of 7 days. I'm a stay at home mom so he's not with anyone else. Any ideas?

my daughter had the same problem, and i can relate to the frustration you are going through!! it can be caused either through a pscyhological or medical problem, think of all the changes he might have ben through, a new school, the loss of a puppy anything!
aks your shild if maybe he is scared to go to the toilet, and if so, try and find out why?
maybe your son is just looking for more of your attention, if this is the case, spend more time with him, when he does have these accidents, dont make a fuss out of it, ignore it ( i knw it is hard) rather start praising him for the good things he does, soon he will stop this behaviour, ! a mothers instinct is normally right! follow it.

Could be a number of things.
If he gets enthralled in his games, he could not notice the cues until too late. Does he make a "mad dash" at the last second?
He could be testing his boundaries. Kids this age sometimes suddenly realize "Mom can not control this"!
He could be drinking more, it is summer and hot. More intake means more output, and more urgent cues that come all of a sudden.(more intake could also be a diabetes symptom, but not always)
You did not say how long it has been happening, but don't jump into punishment. Try reminding him at set intervals through the day. It may help. If he wants to change quickly after the accident, it is most likely not something he wants to happen either. But if he continues to play like nothing happened, it is more likely a choice he made. Either way, it is not easy to deal with.

So you don't know of anything traumatic that has happened to your child, but what about changes? Were you at work before and are now staying home? Are you expecting another child or have you recently had another child? Have you had changes in your daily routine? Could anything have happened to your child while you were out somewhere like at the park, the store or somewhere else you feel safe enough to let your child go to the restroom alone? How about diet changes or allergies? Is your child showing any other signs that something is wrong?

How long has it been going on??
Did he attend school last year??
The reason I'm asking is maybe he is stressing about the upcoming school year!! It's not traumatic but being anxious about going to school can cause a change like that!!
But you are doing the best thing and that is bringing him to a specialist to check for a medical reason!
Why not talk to him and see how he feels about going to school!!
I hope everything works out for the best for him!! Good Luck!!

Sure I do and that, too. I will keep in mind matters again to really being three years historical. I do not forget placing my doll's laundry on a clothes line. My mom even took a picture. Robust and the unusual truth I nonetheless experience doing it handiest with my precise clothes as an adult.

We really cannot say why this is happening
because the human body reacts differently
because we are different from one another for there is only one us.
Who knows what is going on in the mind of a child
or who has possibly done things we do not know.
Smiling faces has a face of it's own
Be-careful who is watching your child. People are strange
many are warped. Please watch your child ever so close
even around relatives.
Make your own plan and secure your mind.
And always place your hands on your children's head and pray over them.

Amazing and the unusual reality I nonetheless revel in doing it best with my specific garments as an grownup.

Children often regress during times of duress or stress. I doubt he is just being lazy, have there been any recent changes in his life that he could be upset about. And you should take him to his pediatrician, just to be safe.

well, if you rule out someone...causing him mental trauma and you rule out a physical reason
I would say he may be acting out, since when the accidents happen more attention is being focused on him even though it's negative attention.
good luck hope everything is okay

Did you just have a baby? Children will regress when a new sibling arrives sometimes.
