After reading all of these posts, I'm not nearly as worried as I was. It seems to me that punishment is not the way to handle this. It looks like it is more a boy thing than a girl thing. There seemes to be patterns here that lead me to believe it isn't as abnormal as we think. The reason we are so devastated is that it is poop and it is nasty. My grandson also wets the bed some nights. According to the research I've done and after reading these boards, these two problems seem to go hand in hand. I am going to insist my daughter take him to the doctor. I am going to try the reward system with him rather than punishment, and talking to him as a young adult. He seems to have a BM at the same time every day and it is after school and often while he's outside, so it appears he's being lazy, but I'm thinking the excercise might be prompting it. As to the bed wetting, I make him go right before he goes to sleep and if I'm up late, I've woken him to get up and go, but we don't make an issue of the bed wetting. It has let up some. Also, I've noticed when there is more stress in the home is when his episodes are more often. Name: Email: Subject
