An 11 year old boy may poop his pants because he's too busy playing and doesn't want to go to the bathroom or he may have a health issue that causes him to poop at times he's not away of.

If the pooping of his pants happens on occasion then it's likely just an accident but if it happens more often the 11 year old could have a health issue that needs to be checked out by the doctor.

A condition that some kids have that causes them to poop their pants is Encopresis.

Chronic neurotic encopresis (CNE), a childhood psychiatric disorder characterized by inappropriate fecal soiling, necessitated the formation of the following specific etiological factors: a) a neurologically immature developmental musculature, an organic condition which may complicate toilet training.

Most encopresis cases are due to constipation. Stool (poop) is hard, dry, and difficult to pass when a person is constipated.

Many kids "hold" their BMs to avoid the pain they feel when they go to the bathroom, which sets the stage for having a poop accident.

11 year olds pee the bed for a variety of reasons.

Sometimes 11 year olds have a weak bladder or the bladder is not growing as fast as the 11 year old.

Other causes of an 11 year old wetting the bed are being cold, having nightmares, bad dreams, being stressed or just a natural part of growing.

It's not usually anything to worry about when the kid is wetting the bed even at 11 years old.

To keep the 11 year old dry you should have them wear some pull ups or Goodnites or diapers.

Diapers would be much better as they are more absorbent and less prone to leak.

There are medications the 11 year old can take to slow urine production but personally I would avoid medications and just allow the child to grow out of the bed wetting.

It's normal to wet the bed as a kid and even up until 17 to 18 years of age.

They could wear pull ups but from my experience pull ups leak especially on heavy wetters at night.

But diapers hold the pee in much better.

It's normal for kids to continue to wet the bed even until they are 17 to 18 years old.

I personally wet the bed myself up until age 17 and then I finally quit.

I wish I had diapers for the bed wetting at the time as waking up in wet sheets and clothes every morning did not feel good at all.

If Linda is right about not wanting him to take breaks in tween his video gaming,  tell him either he can his video games as long as he was wearing a diaper or he's not allowed to play it.

I had help raised a 11 yr old who house was haunted. I put him a diaper cause he wasn't listening to me and his Mom always let him gave him get away with everything. Even his younger brother brother was pooping his pants. A year I was raising them and most of the time they were in diapers
