Ask your son: Gently about what is happening at school with peers & situations, if anyone is bothering him, if he is nervous about the schoolwork, etc. Your pediatrician can determine if there is physical causation & a child therapist can evaluate & provide therapy if determined to be psychological. Your son needs patience & understanding for this embarrassing & frustrating condition. See comment for reference.

Likely overflow: This is often along term problem.It starts with irregular stooling and then constipation.Short term measures work for a while but are stopped too soon.The kid develops an over-sized colon and becomes less effective at emptying and is unaware he is leaking. This can take years to fix and you need to discuss it with his pediatrician or a developmental peds.Regular docs may not recognize the pattern
