Son,s Diapers?

Question

Yesterday my son came home from school still wearing his night diaper ohh age 6 yrs. Every morning he takes off his diaper and puts it in his trash bin and gets dressed for school but yesterday he didnt take it off. When i asked him why he was still wearing it he said he doesnt like the toilets at school. Iam thinking of ignoring it becuase he might not do it again but should i tell him to stop or let him wear them if he wants.. He has had a few accidents at school. Maybe he just wants to keep playing but i cant let him walk around in a wet diaper at school all day either..any ideas thanks.

Answer 1

If your child was 11 years or older I'd recommend letting him wear them as much as they want at home.

However, since your son is only 6 I recommend you nip this thing in the butt before they become an 11 year old who still wants to wear diapers.

For one thing: If your child gets discovered at school wearind diapers by any of the other children, it could go down very bad for his future social life!

------------------------------------
Side Note:
I'm actually a person who believes all children should face some teasing from peers while growing up just to grow a bit of a thick skin. However, there are levels and catigories to teasing. Teasing isn't good for the child doing the teasing, as they're learning the beginnings of hatred... but teasing (I believe) is good for the one being teased if they can learn to 'suck it up' and 'be the bigger person' by not letting it bother them.
-------------------------

However, getting teased for wearing diapers I can't see being good!

* What would the school think if a teacher discovered him wearing a diaper?

* Many children need night time protection because the 'need' it and can't help it. However, your child is sounding to me like they're wishing to be lazy.

I recommend you put your foot down. If you took away diapers entirely right now your son may end up becoming a "diaper lover" due to the sudden change. However, if you allow him to wear them during the day time he may also become a "diaper lover" because of laziness.

The problem with this is, if you allow him to be lazy in his bodily habits it can lead to laziness and regression in other areas. He might start wetting during the day more often. He might start refusing or avoiding using the toilet at home.

I can't say what will happen. Only some possabilities.

Still, I recommend laying down the law: "No diapers during the day time!"

--------
P.S.
I was going to suggest getting rid diapers all together, but as I did state up above, the sudden banning of diapers all together could trigger a fetish because he'll want them and can't have them at all. Could be too late, might already be a diaper lover. If he is a young diaper lover, there's nothing now you can do but make it worse no matter what you do.

Best advice I can give: Forbid them during the day, and let him outgrow their need for the night.

Answer 2

I don't think that a age 6 he should be wearing a diaper to work, whether he wants to or not. He's old enough to learn how to use the bathrooms at school.

It's one thing to allow an occasional diaper at night but even those should be limited, very limited.

A dry change of clothing should be taken to school and put in the office for him in case he needs it. He definitely should not be wearing a diaper, especially one that he has had on all night already and is wet to begin with.

Time for you to take control mom.

Answer 3

my 7 year old has this problem too but my soon to be ex husband suggested he wear a diaper to school but I wouldn't do that. night time accidents are one thing but he should not be allowed to act like a baby and wear a diaper to school. other kids will find out and tease him. mine had a few accidents and he needed a change of clothes but mostly his accidents were on the hour long bus ride home.I told him he needed to use the bathroom at school but my son also has a problem wanting to hold it until it's too late even at home but I found yelling and nagging only make it worse. I was told by his doctor he will grow out of it but he hasn't yet. He is slowly improving though. Don't allow him to wear a diaper to school though that is not the solution. My son was embarrassed by the accidents and started using the bathroom at school when really needed.

Answer 4

By 6yrs old he should understand he is expected to use the bathroom. He should not be wearing diapers out of the house and you should even be limiting them at night. He has to learn to go to the bathroom during the night. If you let this go on, he may think it's ok or expect to wear diapers when at home or when he doesn't like someone's toilet.

Answer 5

If this could be a genuine question and not a troll alert ... it quite is not user-friendly to have faith that each and every guy or woman might desire the small commencing off on top of a Diaper Genie to the convenience of a genuine lavatory seat. "Wasted" or not, tell him to decrease it out. you're able to desire to stash the Diaper Genie away for a whilst, and wrap the grimy diapers in plastic grocery bags from the keep. If he makes a decision to apply the washing room trash can for a rest room, make him take it outdoors and wash it out with the hose. I nevertheless don't have faith this ...

Answer 6

yea at 6 years old and wearing a diaper ...you should really get him to a doctor ...therapy , something ....by allowing him to continue to wear the diaper you are in fact enabling him to think it is okay to use the bathroom in his pants .... stop it now or you'll be chasing him down the wedding aisle to change his diaper

Answer 7

I would not let him wear them, just take a extra pair of clothing to the office so he will have them at school if he has a accident.

Answer 8

He's shy and afraid of public bathrooms or at least the ones at school. I think many kids are. Remember, they are striving for acceptance from peers and don't want to do anything that will embarrass them.
