I have a boy who'll be 4 the 1st of February. He was completely potty trained then about 6 wks ago he started peeing in his pants he'll refuse the potty and toilet then go minutes later. A couple of wks ago he started doing his #2's in his pants as well. I can't seem to break him of this. Please help

Did he start school or something different? Something stressing him out? Move to a new house or anything? Children sometimes react to changes.
If it's not that, and he was doing well .... have a doctor check him for a possible infection. My daughter at the age of 4 had a bedwetting episode because of a urinary tract infection.
Best Wishes,
Sue

Sounds like he might be looking for attention... or Is there a big change going on in his life... or did he have an accident and get a big reaction from you?
I've heard if kids revert back... the best thing to do is not make a big deal out of it.
I have also heard of parents that waited to clean them up for a short time so they had to feel the yucky underpants. I have heard this more than once... but I would have a hard time with that one personally. Good luck!
You might find some ideas on this Baby Center forum on Potty training difficulties:

I am not really able to answer your question, however do you have a new baby in the house? I know my two year old is doing things that she did when she was one and thats because her little brother is doing them and she sees that it gets him attention. Is there something or someone bothering him? I hope that you get some answers. Good luck.

Has anything changes in your household? A new addition, a seperation/divorce, a lot of argueing? All these things can cause a child to regress. Good Luck

I have heard that when a child has been completely potty trained and then stops it is a sign of sexual abuse.
