My son is nine and he urinates into my radiators. It has not happened for a year or so, but last week he got mad at me for putting him on punishment and went right into his room, turn to the radiator and peed. He has ADHD also and I don't know what to do. I am so surprised that there are others doing the same thing, What did the doctors say about this? I know that it is not normal nor is it funny.

have him checked for juvenile diabetes.. this could be a sign! this happened to my neighbour she tried everything to stop him from peeing in inappropriate places all of a sudden.... he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital thats when they found out it was not his ADHD causing the behaviour

My adhd son has only done this a couple of times at home........once in the dryer (luckily no clothes in it). However...when at daycare him and the daycare providers 3 year old would count to 3 and pee on each other.......they havent had this issue in quite a while, i think its under control. I did nothing to stop it....just didnt draw a lot of attention to what he was doing and he forgot about doing it I guess.

OMG that is so strange i hav a 12yr old boy nd he has started peeing around the house the other day it was in the bin but it was a wicker bin so obviously came straight out on to the floor he then decided to blame the Dog but as i Explained to him i havnt got a dog only my sister one tht cmes round once in a blue moon so i knew it certainly wasnt the Dog, I to dont know how to Address this problem as nothing has changed in the house hold apart from him going bak to school, but i dnt understand how or why they do these thing's !!!!!! Having Severe ADHD is one thing i hav to deal with as i no he cant help all he's bad behavior but i certainly cant tollerate the peeing everywhere and i rlly dont no what to do or say to him as again all he says when he adventually admits it's him was, i dnt no mum i couldnt get to the toilet in time as its to far, i live in a ground floor flat the toilet is near by so there NO excuse !!!!!!!!!

My son was peeing in his garbage can, water bottles that he hid in his room, so we sat down with him and discussed the issue of his peeing, he said he "couldn't make it to the bathroom in the basement (our only bathroom currently), but let him know that he needed to use the bathroom not other places and as he has gotten older, the less he pees in strange places. Good Luck!

I have to admit, it made me giggle a bit on the inside when I read the title simply because I knew exactly what you meant, but it's so frustrating and 'off' that I do my best to keep a sense of humour about it. My guy hasn't done it in a bit...oh, wait...he did pee in the driveway the other day - and was proud of it *sigh* but that was the first time in a long time. And really, in the list of things he has done...peeing outside or on the toilet seat is the least of my concerns - albeit annoying, and really gross at times. I was like you and totally on my last nerve - but then for some reason my attitude just switched, and I try to make it as much of a non-issue as possible - mostly cause the more I got upset, the more he did it - it was an attention grabber...the less I react - the less he does it...

good luck, hun!

hi loren!

i totally relate to your confusion! my 6yr old does that too!!! in really weird and innappropriate places and we just want to sit down and cry each time we see a new spot! i asked our pediatrician about it and he said it's from the impulse control problems associated with ADHD. We are in the middle of diagnosis with our son- and im hoping that with treament (they've already reccommended meds) the problem will stop..

Good luck with your little man- but just be reassured that you're not alone in this. On a different conversation a while ago- we mums were talking about this same phenomenon, and trust me- it happens quite alot!

One of my son's peed in weird places while sleep walking but not while away. I would suggest a talk with the pediatrician. There may be an underlying cause. You may also want to research side effects (the not so common ones) of any medications he's taking. Good luck and God bless.
