hi

my 26 months old boy usually tells when he wants to go for pee or poo. but each time he is scolded by anyone for doing something wrong, he gives a scared look on his face and pee' s in his pants.
even when he has just come from a pee in the toilet and you scold him, he will do a few drops of pee in his pants.

I cannot stop scolding him, as he is in his terrible Two' s and does all kinds of crazy things all the time. I have to discipline him to some extent at least.

What do i do??? i am scared this will continue when he starts school too!

My niece who is around my son' s age spends lot of time at my place and Lately my son pees even when someone scolds her.

Pl. help me understand my child' s psychology!! Suvarna replied. hi Ami,
I am fully sympathetic and u' ve rightly said it' s difficult to control ur temper while dealing with all sorts of tantrums all the time. My daughter is 32 months old and she used to do the same thing earlier till about 6 months back. Whenever she would start crying she will wet her pants..all other times she' s so particular to visit the toilet for peeing too. That was the time when I started telling her,\" See if u cry u' ll wet ur pants, do u want to spoil ur nice dress now? so let' s go to the loo first and then cry..\" this trick worked and she started going to the loo at that time..and guess what by the time she is out she almost had forgotten her reason of getting upset.
