Why does a 5 year old go to the bathroom in his under ware?

Answer:
Seriously? More informaiton would be helpful... Just at night, during the day, urinating and bowel movements?I'm assuming this isn't a new situation. If it is and he has been using the toilet just fine until now, then you may want to talk to his doctor to rule out urinary tract or bladder infection. Also there could be psychological factor if there has been anything stressful happening. If it isn't a new situation, then keep reading.The most common situation is with boys wetting the bed. They lack total control of the muscle used to keep urine in the bladder and sleep so soundly that they don't wake up to go. It's actually very common for parents to wake up their son 3 or 4 hours after he goes to sleep so he can go on the toilet and then let him go back to bed. Many boys can then hold it the rest of the night; however, some have to be woken up again 3 or 4 hours after that. It may be easier to put a pullup on for the night.If it's during the day, it could just be that he is too busy to stop what he's doing to use the bathroom. Some kids think they will miss out on something if they take a break, so they wet their pants, but most don't put that much thought into it. They just are too busy.If you are talking about bowel movements, it could be that he isn't completely "potty trained", or "poop trained" as many parents call it. Most kids find it harder to have a bowel movement in the toilet because the pressure is different and they aren't relaxed. It's almost as if they don't know how to do it sitting down. Give him a stool to put his feet on so he can apply the right amount of pressure. Then put a stack of books he likes next to the toilet so he has something to do other than just sit there.Hope this helps.
