Since starting school DS1 has taken to crapping his pants, almost every day this week.
When he was doing it at school in the first term, I was reasonably calm. After all, it's a new and exciting place, there's a lot going on that he might not want to interrupt etc. However, he's starting doing it at home now - not even when something exciting is happening. Just playing on the floor this afternoon, he wet and poo-ed everywhere. Not pleased.
My tactic is basically to get him to clean himself up, put the washing on and then help me with whatever I would have been doing while supervising this activity (today he had to tidy the playroom and hang up the washing). I want him to understand that while it may seem a waste of time to spend time in the toilet, it's not half as much of a waste of time as cleaning up after himself.
He quite often smells of poo... it's yucky! Any tips?
