I assume you mean a classroom right? Because if you have enough rooms in your home to separate them into ages.... you need to teach us all your finance secrets.

Yeah, I roll deep
4 year old classroom, I should have specified
Some child development experts recommend having the child clean himself up. Your son may not using the bathroom at school, but holding it and then having no control when it has to come. Many kids do this and sometimes it leads to a back up and affects the muscles. The accidents may be due to new routines of the class, new friends, and more interesting activities and toys. Speaking with the teachers to be sure there is a bathroom routine that your son is aware of and maybe having a set time to sit on potty would be helpful.
Do you mean a 4 year old classroom, or a classroom for 4 year olds?

Classroom for 4 year olds.
I was going to say the same thing. The idea of going #2 at school for kids can be a big thing. My son (6 yo) does everything he can to avoid it. Perhaps your son is not comfortable with it yet? Maybe he doesn't realize that he can approach the teacher if the urge hits outside of a regularly scheduled time?
Relating it more to my 4 yo daughter - the idea of change/playtime taking priority may be more likely. At 4 years old, the things that are considered "embarassing" to slightly older kids don't seem to have taken hold quite yet. My 4 yo girl doesn't have a care in the world and would announce the she "has to poop!" to an entire store full of people if the urge hit her.

I didn't think about this. But it's true. My son was the same way. Hated going at school. Still does.
I don't like taking a $hit at work, but will if absolutely necessary.

Was going to say the same thing, there piss and even some dookie on the toilets at work.
We had a heck of a time with our oldest. I don't want to say how old he was, but it was very embarrassing. I even took him to a pediatric gastroenterologist, a psychiatrist and to weekly therapy. (This was AFTER losing my mind over every other disciplinary or reward technique I could think of).
Then we adopted a little sister. Who was already potty trained and three years younger than him.
The accidents stopped. 100%. It was astonishing. There's no question it was a matter of choice.

So there you go, KD - you need to adopt a child.
Seriously, my daughter didn't want to potty train - I should have seen the future in her stubbornness on this issue. But once her older brother started giving her crap (ha) about it and taunted her about wearing diapers, she was more motivated. I'd have to look in her baby book, but I think she was 2.5 when she got fully trained with no more accidents. My son was potty trained before he was 2, but parents did things a lot earlier back then. Plus I was home with him and could micromanage it.

We are going through the same thing with our 5 year old, and I think this is exactly what is happening. It is infuriating

Thing is, with his learning disability, we thoroughly looked into everything once we reached our wit's end with him. He often was constipated, and doctors said it was possible the nerves telling him to go weren't working correctly until it was too late. And that is a real thing that happens.
But - it wasn't, with him. He just didn't want to do it. Teaching him to poop in the toilet was like teaching an older person to fart elsewhere. He just didn't want to.

I don't want to jinx you by congratulating you so I'll just mentally cross my fingers on your behalf.

If it happens again rub his nose in it and put him in his crate.
Is that what your wife does? :shrug:
