I really need some advice. My son has taken to peeing in his room. About once a week he will pee on the carpet. He immediately tells us he did it, but I don't know why he is doing it. I have tried explaining that we don't do that but so far it hasn't seemed to help. Any advice would be appreciated

What can I do next?

I think making him help clean it up will eventually stop the behavior. Just be consistant and have him clean it up everytime! L.

My son did this too. I think he was just curious about how it all works (besides trying to aim for the toilet sitting or standing). After cleaning up so many messes, I started having him help. I know this isn't the cleanest job, but he caughted on that this wasn't a fun task. I used this same tactic when he suddenly started over aim the toilet (standing and sitting). It worked then too.

I agree with the lady who said to have him "assist" in the clean up. I have twin boys who are 9 and don't always have "great aim" in the bathroom. I purchased those wipes and now it is their job to wipe around the toilet. They asked me "why do we have to do it?" and I explained that since I am the only "girl" in a house full of "boys" and I sit down when I pee - it must be one of them that has bad aim. Point taken, they now have better aim! LOL Best of luck! L. L.
