Grannyben please don't tell him off about it, it may make things worse. Have you asked his pre-school about it? Is he being taken to the toilet regularly? Is there anything he doesn't like about the toilets so he won't go? Sometimes children just need to be reminded when they are occupied with play. I would have a long chat with his key worker and ask that she spend a few days taking him regularly. Once a day is upsetting but it isn't a great problem really is it.? Just a matter of making sure he has changes of clothes. I'm sure it will settle down once he is really settled.

Thank you J52, We did think about trainer pants but someone said that it has the same effect as a nappy, if he piddles he won't ever feel wet if he's wearing them.
He does get very engrossed in what he's doing then he only realises at the last minute that he needs to go. Its just how do you deal with it

Sorry to hear he’s having difficulties. I think it’s probably quite common.

Rather than nappies, how about trainer pants until he settles?

Toileting seems to be a theme this week!

I know that many of the gransnetters have worked or had involvement with little ones and wonder if anyone has any advice.

My grandson was 3 in September, he has been toilet trained since April and everything went quite well for the first 5 months. In September he started pre school and he has since gone backwards, piddling at least once a day. This is occasionally happening outside of school as well now.

Obviously school is new for him and I know he's not the only one but we aren't really sure how to deal with it. Someone suggested putting him back in nappies for a while and then starting again but that doesn't seem right to me. When he is wet, should his mum tell him off or should she just not say anything to him.

We were at the doctors last week and mentioned it just in case he had a urine infection - he doesn't.

He is the most adorable little man but my daughter is worried the other children will make comments about him. Is is quite upsetting her.

Any advice would be most grateful
