Why My 5 Years Old Is Passing Bowel On Himself?

Hi my5 year old son has starting pooing himself. This has been happening now for a few days and I did notice the other day the the motion was loose. He is even pooing in the back yard. He gets it all over his hands and stuff and just keeps on with what he is doing until I notice it. He has just started school and the teacher advises that all is well there. I am not sure why this is happening. Is it medical or emaotional?

Hi... I feel that he is having an emotional issue going on in his mind. What you are quoting is abnormal for a 5 year old. I suggest you get in touch with a pediatric clinical psychologist regarding this.
