DS is 7 and has never properly toilet trained wrt pooing. Peeing he got the hang of instantly but not so with the other. (He is in the process of being assessed for autism and ADHD and also awaiting a paediatrician assessment for the toilet issue.) Unless i make him sit on the toilet he wont go and he will have an accident. He doesnt always know if his pants are clean or dirty when i ask.
The mistake is that i have agreed to him going on a 2 night camp with his beaver group without even thinking of his toilet issues. I know how stupid i've been. It just didnt enter my head, he had missed a couple of nights at beavers and i was only reminded about the camp on Monday when i collected him so made an on the spot decision. The camp is tonight. He is all geared up to go and i've been trying really hard ever since monday to get him to go to the toilet when he feels he needs to but it just isnt happening and I know he will have accidents when he is away with beavers. He wont tell his leaders he has had an accident either so he will just stay in dirty pants. Its not fair to send him. I feel like crap and its going to break his heart but there isnt a way round this is there? I can't expect the leaders to constantly remind him/force him to sit on the toilet. They wont always be near toilets.
