He is an only child and gets all of our attention. I have not had him checked for Chrons, however, I have taken him to his pediatrician and there appears to be nothing medically wrong. I would think, logically, this is a ploy to get attention, but we are constantly playing with him, reading books, karate, or engaging him with something. He doesn't care whether we are at home, on the soccer field, at karate, or in the grocery store; he will poop in his pants anywhere.
Have you had him checked for IBS, chrons/colitis? Also are there certain foods that he eats that make him do it?
could he he behaving like this to get attention?sometimes negative attention is better than none. What interest has he got does his Dad play games with him , when weather is good maybe basket ball or other sports, board games when its raining ..Fun and a connection with you both .Are you sure he isnt just wiping properly , children are not good at it, and its soield their underwear or is it a full poop?
