give him a glass of milk every night for a better vowel movement the next morning, make sure the time of giving milk is not after 8pm your time.

It's not healthy he could get impacted. how about giving him a few prunes after dinner and he should be having a bowel movement before he goes to school. I guess the boys bathroom in school doesn't have doors on each of the stalls
