Ok , I havent ever mentioned this on this forum (or any for that matter ) My daughter is six , and she still soils her knickers.
She went to the toilet a couple of times when i toilet trained her, and then , she would run and hide and do it in her room, or wherever , I thought, "oh its just a phase , she'll grow out of it , no such luck ,I thought kindy might make her decide to be a big girl , she is , in everyway but that.
And don't think i havent tried anything, i have done sticker charts, star charts, i have taken her to the GP , shes had an xray done to check for constipation , and just last wednesday morning , we went for her second visit with the pediatric nurse at manukau superclinic.
Basically what C suffers from is what they call "sneaky poo syndrome ",where the bum isnt telling the brain it needs to go to the toilet and like an ostrich you stick your head in the sand and ignore it , shes not doing it on purpose , shes just got to a point where she cant .
And all i can do is keep up with the sticker charts , and praising her when she does it etc.
Its very difficult, and IM ashamed of it, im not ashamed of her, im ashamed that im that bad a mother that my daughter still soils her knickers, at her age, and its everyday , btw , not just once or twice a week .
So if you can at least make sure she knows the toilet isnt scary, just in case, and get her to try sitting on it a couple of times a day , it might be a good idea, id hate for anyone else to go through this
