Parenting. my son pooped on the floor and rubbed it in and hid it why?

your son may have felt that he was unable to make it to the toilet so had to go then and there.


but this is not exceptable although it is not some thing to be punished.


you need to sit down with him and tell him the following things


-that it makes you very sad when he did this (children like to please)


-that people should always poop in the toilet because its a dirty thing.


- that if he does it again then he will have to clean it up by his self (children will avoid cleaning)

he was being an attention seeker.


he needs some basic lessons on hygiene ASAPParenting. my son pooped on the floor and rubbed it in and hid it why?
He either did it for one of two reasons. 1. He couldn't make it to the toilet in time, and he tried to clean it up, and he made a bigger mess, so he hid in shame. OR 2. He did it purposefully or for attention, and made a bigger mess and then hid because he knew it was wrong.





Either way, don't scold him, it will traumatize him, and then he can become afraid of going to the bathroom, which can make a bigger problem for you in the long run. Just ask him why he did this, and explain to him that it is important to go to the potty in the potty, and if he needs help, to call for you. Accidents happen. So, go with the ';flow';. I wish you the best.
You do not mention how old he is? Under 4, he's afraid of getting into trouble, over that, could be a psychological problem. If it doens't happen again though, I wouldn't worry - just assure him everyone has accidents and to let mommy know so she can make sure the house (and him) are cleaned up properly.
He is ready to be potty trained (if he isn't there already)! If he is potty trained, it was probably an accident that he was trying to cover up! Tell him that his behavior was unacceptable and make him help clean it up! My 2-year-old used to do this all the time when she was about 17 months old. Good luck!
If he isn't potty trained I would say he is trying to tell you he is ready. My daughter did this when she was ready to start potty training, I think the rubbing it in may be their way of trying to clean it up. They hide because they are ashamed and are afraid we will be upset with them. Needless to say I started potty training immediately. If he is potty trained than more than likely it was an accident and he tried to clean up.
probably ashamed of himself...


or scared you'd get mad at him
