He was in major pain after this and now associates pooping with pain. Also, he does not want to stop whatever he is doing now to go to the potty. At one time this was not a problem. He knows it makes us very unhappy. He has been rewarded, punished, etc.
Nothing seems to work.
I think he is old enough to know better, I know he knows better. I have no patience for this. He will be sent back to the younger kids room at school if he doesnt' get himself together. If this happens, I'm worried about him being challenged educationally. I don't want him to learn he can only do a half done job and get by.
