Is your child struggling with pooping?
Sometimes all it takes is one painful poop for a child to have a fear of having a bowel movement. Or chronic constipation can cause painful pooping which triggers fear of having a bowel movement. Their fear often leads to withholding, anxiety about using the toilet and potty training regression. Sometimes these issues persist even after the child is no longer suffering from chronic constipation or painful bowel movements. It is difficult to overcome a young child's fear and anxiety with reasoning. This can be extremely frustrating for us as parents, and for our children who are struggling.
