Peeing in snowsuit
My 10 years old boy peed in his snowsuit 3 times when playing outside
this winter. He said it's by accident, but I don't thing is accident, because he never have accident when he's out of his snowsuit. I know he like playing in snow with his friends, sleeding, snowmen, snowfort, but why peeing in snowsuit. He don't want tell-me, he said only accident ! Someone have experiance with snowsuit wetting ? |

I think it's just such a production to get into and out of a snowsuit, and so much fun with his friends that he doesn't want to miss because it only happens one season a year. Possibly, the snowsuit is too complicated - some of them are. Is it a one piece? I would recommend snow pants and a jacket if it is. Banty |

Possibly, the snowsuit is too complicated - some of them are. Is it a one piece? I would recommend snow pants and a jacket if it is. i'd think a 10 year old would be much happier in snow pants & jacket, rather than a one piece snowsuit. my 4 year old has been in snowpants/coat since his 2nd winter. it's much easier to thermoregulate if you can choose a lighter or heavier coat (or even a sweater/jumper) based on current weather. the snowpants are just to keep his regular pants drier longer & add a bit of insulation lee |

But they do require taking a lot off in order to pee (or a lot of rearranging). So for this boy, pull down snow pants may be the answer. Banty |

Someone have experiance with snowsuit wetting ? Probably having too much fun to want to stop and go in to pee. Too much work taking off the snowsuit, the boots, the mittens, etc, then putting it all back on. A creative suggestion: teach him how to write his name in the snow. Then when he has to go, he will want to go outside. :-) jen |

Someone have experiance with snowsuit wetting ? I believe in natural consequences. The natural consequence if I pee in my snow suit is that I have to wash it, my pants, underwear, etc. If you make your son do this when he has an accident, I bet this will solve the problem. Just explain to him that he may pee in his snowsuit all he wants, but he is the one who gets to wash it and his clothes next time it happens. Jeff |

I don't see this as an accident. I see it as one of two possible causes:
#1 - He doesn't want to take the time to come inside and remove the snowsuit (I assume this is fairly bulky) to go properly, and then have to redress to go back to his friends. He figures they probably won't notice, so he pees. #2 - He's doing it to warm up. Ask military personnel who go through SEAL training. One aspect of their training is to sit in freezing cold ocean water. They say that wetting your pants helps you warm up. This doesn't EXCUSE the behavior in either case, and I agree with the consequences listed that he should clean the snowsuit. But I don't see this as an accident, and I suspect one of these two reasons is the most probable cause. |

He figures they probably won't notice, so he pees. You seem to see "he pees" as a conscious, deliberate act. It might or might not be. He might not want to go to the trouble of taking off the snowsuit etc., so he stays outside and tries to hold in the pee. He might then pee involuntarily -- perhaps when one of his friends makes him laugh, or when he just can't seem to hold it in any longer. Maybe he successfully overcomes a few waves of feeling he needs to pee, and convinces himself he can hold it in and doesn't need to go into the house, and then another wave comes along and is too much for him. -- Cathy A *much* better world is possible. |

Just explain to him that he may pee in his snowsuit all he wants, but he is the one who gets to wash it and his clothes next time it happens. I think that could do a lot more harm than good, especially since he probably doesn't have complete control over his peeing. I doubt he wants to pee in his snowsuit at all. A better natural consequence is that he's required to pee just before going outside to play, and has to come in perhaps every 2 hours to pee. Whatever the natural consequence is, I think it's best to present it very gently and tactfully to the child: gently suggesting that the child pee before going out, then getting more insistent if the child doesn't want to; avoiding saying "you have to" or even worse "you can't". Once you tell the child he has to wash his pants, you're stuck: if he refuses, you have to either "give in", or apply some other consequence or harsh coercive tactic. Neither is a good choice. He may be likely to refuse because he feels it wasn't his fault and because he's embarassed. Not a very positive way to introduce a child to the everyday task of doing laundry! -- Cathy A *much* better world is possible. |
