3.5 year old constantly wetting - help needed desperately

[MrsWadds]

DS1 came out of nappies in June last year and was brilliant - dry dry dry - YIPEE. A couple of months later he started to 'dribble'. This has now been going on for about 6 months and I'm really don't know how to get through to him. He ignores the signs of needing a wee and even sometmes ignores me asking him to go or even denies he needs a wee and the a few minutes later, he will be wet. He's even getting sore where he is so constantly wet. I've had days where I've had to change his pants and trousers 7 times!

I've tried reward charts, bribery, getting angry, talking nicely, guilt trips, taking favorite toys away - nothing is getting through. Luckily we don't have a problem with poo.

We've had medical tests to rule out any problems and these showed nothing was wrong.

Pleeease, has anyone got any advice - me and hubby are finding it incredibly draining and tiring and frustrating.

Have you tried completely ignoring for a while? I mean just don't say anything about wee and if/when he wets just change him with no comment or fuss and carry on with whatever was doing before.

I did start to try that but it's quite hard to carry out. I'll try that one again - thanks.

Try singsong's suggestion or you could just take him to the toilet every couple of hours, don't ask, just take him and put him on the toilet and say cheerfully "it's time for a pee on the toilet". Maybe that way he will get the message that he is going to go to the toilet regularly so he might as well use the opportunity to pee.

sorry 'bout the double post

Thanks - I'll give both suggestions some thought.
