Question

My nearly 2-year-old son used to inform us when he needed to go to the bathroom, but he hasn’t done that for the past few months. I’m curious about the reasons behind this behavior change.

Answer

Parents are advised to carefully observe if their child exhibits any other unusual behaviors to help identify the cause and avoid putting pressure on the child. It is also recommended to communicate more with your child, spend time with them, and guide them in discussing toilet matters, so you can find the root of the problem and treat it accordingly. In terms of daily care, it is suggested to gently guide your child on how to do it when they need to use the bathroom, so that they can gradually learn how to do it.
