Is it right to get an administrator involved? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) As a lot of other people have said, a lot of the potential solution depends on the age of the child. If they are young and it is still at an age where they need to be reminded to go to the bathroom, then I would increase bathroom break frequency and have the child go whether they feel like they have to or not. I also sometimes give rewards to my students (VPK aged and younger), but am careful not to overreward so that it becomes a game to them. If the child is older, I would first continue to take matters into my own hands and try to come to a solution with the student. If abuse is suspected, as a mandated report, you must absolutely report it. If not, though, and it is simply a lack of desire to leave an activity or a desire to get out of an activity, the student must realize that this is not an okay behavior. If it continues at that point, I would get an administrator, guidance counselor, or behavior specialist involved.
