5yr old boy urinating here and there
Today i found that my 4yr 8m old boy had urinated on the sofa willingly.
He is quite overwhelmed with lockdown and being at home at all times.
He also has a recent repulsion towards getting clean, tidyng up, eating healthy food, growing up,everything. To an extent that he starts crying profusely.
And today this happened. I am 29weeks pregnant with my second one and I don't know what to do.
I am currently with my parents who are quite old and they are not able to handle him at all as he is very very hyperactive.
Please help

Hi, it looks like your son is not used to staying at home and this is common among boys his age. The reason for him urinating is because he could be stressed about something. You can explain about your son to a psychologist and counseling sessions will be beneficial. You mentioned that your son is hyperactive. You can help him channelise his energy with drawing book. He can also keep his mind occupied with board games or his favourite cartoon. Keep him distracted with things he likes to do. You can explain about his likes/dislikes with a psychologist who will help your son feel calm.

Hello,
Glad to know that you are seeking help, lockdown has affected all age groups in general and children in particular.Children are not able to engage themselves for long as the home confinement is prolonged.When children are stressed they have their own ways of exhibiting anger and certain behaviours to get attention, soiling clothes is one of them.You are with your parents so adjustment is needed here as well.
Detailed session will be helpful
Next Steps

Dear ma’am! Children have their own way of dealing with circumstances. Since he is your first child, this maybe his way of expressing suppressed feelings about the second baby. Possibly a way of seeking further care from you, which may have been slightly different now days due to your pregnancy. You could maybe look into how the second child has been introduced to him, and understand his feelings about this change. A child psychologist would be better able to assist you with the same.
