My son (who is 6 and in kindergarten) has been potty trained with really no accidents for years. Then when my father's health (has dementia) turned significantly worse, my son started peeing in his bed at night, waking up in the middle of the night and pee on the floor, or sometimes even have accidents during the day. We get him up in the night to go potty and remind him to go during these times, but it hasn't helped. He will see my father, and for the next couple days he will do this, and we talk to him about going potty and the behavior stops. Of course a couple weeks will go by and he will see him again, and the behavior comes back. My mom says he should not be around my dad so that it doesn't upset him, but i am not sure that i really want to just avoid the situation either. We have talked about grandpa being very sick and how the things he does are because he is sick, but it seems to bother him enough that this behavior keeps coming back. Should I keep him from seeing his grandfather to avoid getting upset or anyone have any suggestions to help him?
Thanks |
