Toilet training resistance

My six year old daughter with SPD is not potty trained. She refuses to sit on the potty. Is there anyone else with a child not going at this age??

starstarstarstarstar 		Also there
by: Sylvia

Hi. My son is 3 1/2 and i also tried all to no avail. We will be seeing an OT and i hope something positive will come of it. He is constipated mostly during the week when he is at school. At home he is OK, but no potty and no toilet. I do not know what to do hence the OT. Will be following this page with interest and let you know how it is going with me and son.

by: Erika

We had similar problems and tried everything - bribes, punishments, explanations of the functioning of the digestive system - all to no use. When he started OT, the OT recommended a pediatric gastroenterologist other patients had used. What a change - turns out he had been constipated for several years, which made bowel movements painful, which made him resist them, which led to accidents. After a complete flushing of the system and a regular regimen including Miralax & Ex Lax, no more accidents and he is feeling much better (and eating better too).

Thank you for your comments. My daughter is seeing a play therapist in conjunction with Tomatis/Occupational therapy. We are making some headway, we found something that really matters to her for an incentive to cooperate and small treats and little steps to lead her through it. Let you know how it goes.

If it is just the fact that your child may not be motivated, you may try offering up a treat like m and m's or something. That's what my mom did for me, and it seemed to work :) I have SPD as well.

My 4 1/2 yr old grandson with SPD refuses also. We were told he may not sense a full bladder or bowel because of lack of sensory input to the involuntary muscles. He will be seeing a developmental pediatrician in a few weeks, hopefully we will get some info as how to help this along. Have you tried a specialist? It is frustrating for all involved.
