What Could Cause Sudden Refusal Of A Child To Use Toilet To Urinate?

this question is actually not for my child but a friends child, they do not have access to the net and i said i would look into for them incase it was serious. ok. they have a 4 year old boy he is weeing, whilst i was there about every 15 mins he wet himself twice and this child was totally happy using the toilet prior. He says he feels no warning. I hope you dont find this odd just concerned also.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion a child who had bladder control initially and not now should be investigated for urine infection. I would suggest you get his urine examination done. If every thing is normal then do not scold him for accidents. Do not give attention for it. Reward for using the bathroom.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
I find this answer helpful
