Question

My son is 7 years old and has never worn underwear. Whenever I buy him a pair of briefs, he takes them off after a while. Sometimes I sneakily put them on him at night, but he takes them off again the next day. How can I get my child to wear underwear properly?

Answer

Based on your description, it seems that your child may not be accustomed to wearing underwear. You can communicate more with your child to understand his thoughts and even make a deal with him, such as if he wants something, he can get it as long as he wears shorts for a few days. In short, try to get your child to wear underwear for several days or even a couple of weeks, allowing him to gradually adapt. This should be helpful. These are suggestions for the question “Why does my son hate wearing underwear,” hoping they are helpful to you, and wishing you good health!
