My son doesn't tell us about potty
My son is 5 years and 9 months old. He still doesn't tell us when he wants to go to poop and soils his underwear almost daily. I have tried various ways to encouraging him to tell me but nothing has worked. I make him sit in the morning to clear his bowel also. Please suggest what should I do.
