can someone with a son maybe explain this??

[Guest guest]

OK, Josh is making progress on the NV in a lot of different ways.  But this one

thing has been regressing, even before starting the NV so I'm hoping someone

with a son can maybe have an explanation.

 

Josh has peed in the toilet since he was about 4 - no problems, the occasional

accident, but no big deal.  In the last month (even before starting on NV), it's

like he has totally regressed in this area.  He still gets up first thing in the

a.m., goes right into the bathroom stands and pees, and we go about our day. 

But as the day goes on, he just shuts down when it comes time to pee.  I've

resorted to Depends again (he does occasionally still use them at nighttime),

even " double bagging him " since he won't pee in the bathroom, and he still pees

through the Depends because he won't go into the bathroom at any other time! 

Just now, I came home from work and his kidsitter was going on and on about the

progress she's seen since Josh started the NV.  She left and I asked him to get

up to pee or at least let's change the Depends (since I knew he hadn't peed

since she got here this a.m.).  He partially rolled off the couch, onto his

knees, and peed

all over the side of the couch!  Then he wouldn't get up so the carpet got all

wet as well.  I totally lost it and started yelling at him!

 

Can someone with a boy give me some insight here before I completely lose it

with this whole thing???  His doc checked him out so it's not anything physical

or medical, it's strictly emotional/psychological/behavioral.  So what do I

do??  He's 12 years old and this is crazy!!!
