lol i heard that they put him in a room with a faucet turned on high with water spilling over, hand him a mop and tell him to clean it up, if he starts mopping he needs more treatment but if he turns off the faucet then mops up the rest they can let him go

Boys usally take longer to potty-train than girls.  My brother is 8 and still wets the bed at night, but I was completely trained by 2.  What really helped my brother for the daytime was a combination of rewards and reminders.  Give him a reward (something small like a sticker or a spoonful of honey should be fine) and rimind him a lot to "check and see."  Good luck.

try deseten or balmex. if that doesn't work try vagisil because it might be a yeast infection even if it is a boy. apply ointment at every diaper change and try to keep them dry. good luck!!!!!!!!

Yes my nephew used to do it all the time. He prefered to go under the table. Does your nephew tell you after he is done pooping or just stands there untill people notice him? My nephew just stayed there and when someone would tell him to get out he would just come to us and we would smell it. To potty-train him, whenever he started to go under the table we would ask him if he had to use the bathroom. He normally said yes. Then eventually he would just come and tell us. It was so funny when he would go under though. His baby brother's face would turn red when he would push. It was hilarious. You should try that with your nephew. My first one was pottye trined kinda late(2 years old) we are potty training his brohter(1.25 years old). Its totally natural. Every kid has they're own special place. Once they start to go into that place ask them if they have to use the bathroom and thats how we potty trined the boys. hope i helped

I knew a girl with the same problem, best thing to try and solve that is make sure no liquids about an hour before bedtime, and sometime during the night go into his room wake him up and take him to the bathroo, it work for my niece, she was a very deep sleeper, over a period of time of them getting used to waking up they will start on their own

Dude, put a nice bed cover over it and tuck in good that will do it for now till you get a new one.

Are you disciplining him?  You have every right to even if he's not your blood son - he is with you the majority of time and his real mother is barely in the picture.  Part of it is also his age.  His bedwetting is a nuisance, but could be triggered by stress in his life (confused, mom isn't around, etc) and 4 years old isn't THAT old to have bed wetting accidents.  However, if he is cursing and disrespecting you, you need to put your foot down.  Having dad do it when he happens to be home won't do anything because the kid needs to be punished right after his actions, not days later.  I don't mean beat him, but give his butt a whack so he feels it, that will surprise him and he might straighten up (worked for me and my siblings growing up!)....and don't be disrespectful back to him because you are only fueling the fire.  Good luck!

He is WAY to old to be running around the house in his underware. I am surpised his friends haven't said anything to him. Most guys do not want to see another guys drawers! Tell Mom to lay down the law and make this boy put some clothes on. Sweatpants and warm-ups are comfortable too. If he needs that much comfort he can hang out in his room with his door closed.

Very simple solution.  Whenever he is at your place, please lock the bathroom.  When he asks why its locked tell him that you are tired of cleaning up after him and that he doesnt know how to use the bathroom so the new rule is "if a person doesnt know how to use the restroom, then a person shouldnt be using it".  He will then request for the key, dont give it to him but tell him that you need 10 to 15 minutes to think about it.  Let him hold it for that time.  When he asks for the keys after 10 or 15 minutes tell him that you are still undecided (still thinking) if he is responsible enough to have the keys. Finally give him the key but not before 20 to 30 minutes. After holding it for that long he wont forget easily.  When you give the keys, remind him what needs to be done after he goes or plays with himself.  While he is in there, knock again on the door and ask him if he is ok or does he need you to call his mum on the phone to tell him what to do. When you do this put on your poker face and MEAN what you say.  If he still doesnt do it then lock it again the next time he is over and JUST DONT GIVE HIM THE KEYS even if he does it in his pants. If he does go in his pants, then rest assured he will never forget.  If he doesnt soil his pants , just holding it will also make him never forget.   I will bet you he wont forget......... (hows your foot and hope you are feeling better..............  later.

like most people said, theres really nothing to talk about. he needs to lock his door or be more discreet, but he'll still masturbate when he has the urge and opportunity.\n\nyou should talk to him about sex, pregnancy and diseases, because surprisingly lots of teens still dont know about condoms and things like that. just because he's masturbating doesnt mean he's sexually active. \n\njust make sure that when he says he's doing his homework, with his bedroom door locked, that hes actually doing his homework! :)

Use bleachwater on him. He should also use a medicated powder to keep that area dry. \nI know what you are talking about.\nMy wife and I went through this. Until you are both cleared up, use a condom.

well, could he just have 'smaller' wash during the first few days until he's strong enough to get out of the bath himself..? If not, then tell him what the situation is, does he prefer to have you or one of his friends to help him.  Or the option is to stay in the bath until the fire crew come and help him :) I personallly would listen to him, what his suggestion is.

http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T071200.asp\n\nCauses and eight steps you can take to help.  Withholding liquids is generally not a good idea.  Bedwetting is a problem of sleeping too deeply to heed the call of a full bladder, and it's extremely common.  If you haven't taken your son to the doctor and asked about this problem, you should...just to make sure there aren't any urinary tract problems.

Make a big deal when she doesn't wet the bed. Don' be negative when she does. Just act like it's nothing. Do something she enjoys when she doesn't wet. Ice cream, play a game with her, praise her.

Its very normal. usually little boys do that around 4-5. Just explain to him in passing that we should always take care of our bodies, and that some parts are more sensitive than others, and that messing with his private parts can cause infection, just as much as sticking your fingers in your eye. \n\nyou should take this time in his life to also reassure him that no one but himself and his parents should ever have a reason to see him unclothed, and that no one but himself should clean or touch that private area. He's a big kid now after all.\n\nAt that age he should be in about 3 or 4th grade thats generally when they start adressing parts of the body in class, its possible he never realized that part of his body was really functional for anything but going potty until then.\n\nA boy of his age would be expected to wonder about his.. bits and pieces. Just reassure him that he's normal and to always take care of himself. It doesnt need to be a huge sit-down discussion.\n\nAlso, if you havent had the talk with him, you might want to take time to do that now. I have never known many children of his age and grade range who didnt know. If he hasnt heard from you its quite possible he's heard from a school mate. Talking about sex is only as difficult and uncomfortable as you make it. So be calm and cover all the bases, your a big grown up person, he's a little kid who has a need to know how to handle his body.
