I need all your expertise on what to do. I care for a 4 year old boy before and after school. Lately he has been peeing on my walls and floor and i am at a loss on what else i should do. Apparently he doesn't have any medical issues that we are aware of, although there are signs that indicate he has ADHD. Mom has spoken to the doctor about this anddoctor will only proceed with testing/therapy when he is 6 next August.
It started about a month ago, when i noticed pee in the garbage can. Both my son (5 yrs old) and DCB denied it was them. I explained how we pee and poo ONLY in the toilet, and explained about germs. I spoke to the mom who apologized and said he has never done this at home or anywhere else and would speak to her son and i promised the same for my son. He told her it wasn't him who peed in the garbage can.
Then I noticed again 2 weeks later, pee on the floor and wall. I spoke to both of them again, and they both said it wasn't them. Then i spoke to each one of them privately about it, and talked about not telling the truth. The DCB denied it was him and my son got upset and swore it wasn't him. I spoke to DCB's mom about it, and she was baffled, she swore he has never done this at home or at the centre he was at previously. Again and she had a chat with him and THEN admitted to her that it was him peeing on the floor. She reiterated the point about pee/poo only in the toilet, never on floors walls etc. She made him apologize to me the next day.
Last week again, there was pee everywhere! On the walls, floor and all over my magazine rack. I had to throw them out, some were not even read. I called both boys in the washroom (to be fair) and we had the chat again. I told them the door had to stay open at all times when they go to the washroom. I spoke to the DCB's mom again and told her that i will be going with him to the washroom for the next few days to make sure he pees in the toilet and that he's not fooling around in there. She thought it was a good idea, she apologized and maintained that he never does this at home. Poor lady, she was embarrassed.
Today was the first day i let DCB go to the washroom by himself. He peed on the floor again, but i only noticed after he was off to school. I will start accompanying him to the washroom again until further notice, but i don't know what else to do. Please suggest what else i can do!
