Product Description
Product Description
"Constipation, Withholding and Your Child" is a positive, accessible guide to dealing with the common problems of stool withholding, soiling and wetting in young children. It gives insight into the perspectives of both children and parents, enabling a clear understanding of the issue. Using friendly and informal language, the book examines the different causes of toileting problems, including the arrival of siblings and difficulties at school, and provides practical techniques and strategies to help children overcome these problems. It emphasises the importance of diet and offers advice on how to make using the toilet less frightening, the benefits of keeping a stool diary chart, and what laxatives and medications to use in different circumstances. It provides tips on how to tackle inappropriate lavatorial behaviour sensitively and addresses the issues particular to children with special needs. This book is a reassuring, informative and non-patronising guide to help children overcome toileting problems. It is useful for parents and all professionals who work with children.

Format:Paperback
this is a great all round book for children with "poo" problems. it is written from the childs point of view which is really insightful and covers everything from diet to medication should it be required. the book looks at recognising whether a child has (or hasn't) had an accident and when a child isn't soiling at all but maybe not cleaning up properly after the event. the book is mainly about poo but does also cover wee briefly, and is full of useful information, including a short chapter aimed at children with special needs, although this is not the main focus of the book, all around a really easy to read and informative book.

This book is like having a consultation with the Dr and is very helpful and informative. It gives practical information when dealing with stool withholding. It enables parents to realise that they are dealing with a very common problem among children which can sometimes feel as if they are the only family with the problem. It helps to bring it all out in the open and gives practical ways of solving the problem which are very do-able. As a health professional who deals with this problem on a daily basis, this is the book that is used for reference by our team.

The way it is written is really user friendly! This is the only book you need if your child has poo problems! Thank you!
