How do you stop this problem? | ADHD Information
How do you stop your boy from turning towards something new in the
bathroom that distracts him while he is peeing? Instead of turning his
head, he turns his whole body. New shower curtain with different
pattern... soaked. New bathroom scale, splattered daily for the first week.
I intentionally buy tissue in only one color box. I had to buy a different
box, and I found myself transferring the kleenex inside to the old box
(harder than it looks). I make him clean it up every time, but it doesn't
help. If I put a note under the lid, he soaks it. I left his comb in a different
place last night, and it distracted him so much that he soaked his shoes
this morning. (I don't know.)
He is getting worse, not better (he just turned six). I know this is not life-
threatening, but it is affecting my linoleum. Any ideas? have a bowl of Cheerios sitting on the back of the toilet and then when he goes to make water, have him put a cheerio in the toilet and aim to hit it. that's how i got my son to pay attention. it was a game to him.
^ that's what i was going to say!
And this is precisely why my son sits to pee!
