some1 PLZ help me!

hay this is my first time on here so if i dont do this right im sorry!
  OK my son just turned 6 last week an when he was 3 her was fully potty traind, then some where along the line he started wetting his pants only when he starts laughin, at first we just thought o he will grow out of it hes still young, then it never stoped an i was just so used to dealing with it that it just really didnt seem like a problem but then when he started school an would come home with wet pants (because he wouldnt tell the teachers) i started sein it as a problem.
whe took him to the doc an they did all kinds of test and found nothing, so they said its must just be busy boy syndrom which he should grow out of, but so far he has not, an in the past year he has started having  louse stools an will mess his pants this only happens mayb once o month but the wetting is like 2-3 times a week depends on how much fun he is havin!  so if any one can let me know if im alone in this or not.  
I feel as if i have been fightin a never ending battle for 3 years im about ready to give up an just start buyin him pull ups again!

some children have a thick bladder wall which makes it easy to ignore the bladder until it is completely full- actually I believe they cannot feel it- so busy children of course would have to run for the toilet at the last minute. They can only feel the fullness when it is too late. Perhaps he was being taken to the rr more often in those early days by you and you got him to empty his bladder before it filled.... SO he just needs to understand he has to TRY at the times when you and caregivers offer, and offer every two hours and always after meals and snacks, as well as before bedtime and first thing in the morning. We have a 2 yr old at preschool that can hold it 11 hours. Her mom says she holds it for 8 hours at night then waits another 3 hours.

good luck

No pullups,at his age thats punishment,, no punishment, find out why, ask his teacher if the children have regular trips to the Bathroom, some children dont like to ask to go she should tell them they can go and make sure they do, a lot of teachers are amiss with this ,perhaps they dont realise small children need reminding, . Could there be anything else he would be upset about does he have friends at school, ask him how he likes it there .It could also be he forgets when hes busy till its too late, hes not alone this is a common problem.
