How handle child delaying going to the toilet
My son is 5. He goes to kindergarten and its toilet time and he is the showoff. He was toilet trained but now delays going to the toilet for play or tv watching. He once said monster are there so I put up a dinosaur picture that he chose since he said dinosaurs scare away monsters but he is still delaying going to toilet and soiled his pants. How to handle it now?

We were starting to see delay toilet use, so we introduced specific times of the day our son has to try regardless if he feels like it.
Once in the morning as before going downstairs and starting the day.
Once before dinner.
Throughout the day we encourage him to tell us when he as to go.
Some of these times if he does this without complaints we reward via a sticker on a progress chart that can be used as a trip to the book store to buy a book or new dinosaur.
Still early and a work in progress for us. @Rororo is correct on the flow state. Perhaps mandatory pause and breaks in the action?
