My son has taken to pooping in the shower and bath! Not just once, but he has done this now over 6 times. When he was a toddler, on four differant occassions he has “painted” his bed or wall with his poop. We spanked him, talked to him (yucky! it will make you sick!), and tried to ignore it. Finally, it stopped only to resurface 2 1/2 yrs. later. What is the obsessesion? Is it the warm water? Can he not control it?
When he was 4 yrs. old, we received a note from preschool stating that a boy and our son were in the restroom. The boy was poking his finger into our son’s anus. My son says this was the only time it had happened, but it causes me concern. Should we consult a psychologist. My pediatrician writes it off as developmental curiosity.
Help.
