i'm sorry your child is going through this. it can be very unsettling to lose control of bodily functions. when a child who was previously toilet trained suddenly begins to have accidents -- especially frequent accidents -- the first thing you should do is get him to a doctor for an examination. there could be an underlying medical cause such as a food allergy for your child's behavior. the second thing to think about is whether or not your child has experienced any psychological trauma. this could be bullying by another child or something more sinister like inappropriate touching by an adult. you might gently ask your son in a loving way if anything specific has happened to him in this regard. be sure to stress that he is not "in trouble" and you are not "blaming" him. but first things first. have his pediatrician examine him. be sure to provide a complete history to the doctor including when these accidents started how frequently they occur what foods/beverages your child is consuming and so on. all of this information will help your pediatrician arrive at a medical diagnosis if there is one. i wish you and your son all the best!
