Question:
Hi there,
My son is 8, going on 9. He is encopratic, and we are treating that. He has seen his physician, and I am non-judgmental about it and have a monthly budget for underpants. Your staff helped me identify this issue last year, and I am very grateful. My current concern is that he is just not very consistent about showering, tooth brushing and hand-washing. The problem has two sides, of course.
1) He should, as a matter of personal responsibility and health consciousness, keep his body clean and as germ-free as is reasonable for a child his age.
