We have to foster boys age 5 and 6 that know how to go to the bathroom but will not focus on what they are doing while in there. We have tried numerous things to get them to pee and poop in the toilet and not everywhere else. They don't get it. Our bathroom stinks and they think its funny. What do we do?

Hi Marie,

First, I would suggest discussing this issue with the social worker. This could be something that is a continuation of a behavior they had in their previous home. It could be a way of acting out. Or it could be an indication of their disrespect for other's property. Let a professional help you sort it out.

I would also consider assigning them clean-up duty. It is not unreasonable or cruel to expect a 5 or 6 year old to help with daily household chores. But realize, they probably won't do as good of a job as you.

It will be important to remember the goal would be to have the children realize how nasty it is to have to clean up, to learn the consequences of their actions, and to teach them some responsibility. Maybe they won't think it is so funny.

And finally, I would consider implementing a positive reward system for keeping the bathroom clean. What motivates them? What would be a special reward they could work toward earning? Consider using a chart to track their progress and a prize at the end of a specified period of time (maybe a week?).

I hope you find these ideas helpful. Thank you for your post. Good luck! And please let us know how it goes.

Sincerely,
Michaelyn
