[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 272947, member: 7416"] Hi there, i'm new here so I hope you can all help and support me also. I am caring for a nearly 8 year old with encopresis and an intellectual disability. I am learning a lot about encopresis. Things I have been working on with my little cherub: We have a stool near the toilet for the feet to sit on; no goofing around on the toilet, hands on lap, and gently blowing on hand; a 4 minute timer. A reward book for stickers. The stickers are for going to the bathroom, even if a little reluctantly, every 30-40 mins or when an 'accident' is noted; special stickers for taking initiative to go; and special stickers if she is clean and dry. Unfortunately, we regress a little when returned to mum for the weekend. At school, they have the same process and are very supportive. We don't use pull ups except for bedtime although her old school has made a rule that no pull ups, no school as they don't want 'accidents' on their carpet. It is hard to know how much my little one understands, as she is happy to stand around in wet or pooey clothes. She is on Movical every day to keep the stools soft, and this could be for another 2 years until her bowel is repaired. However, I'm off to the paediatrician with all my observations of the past month to ask more questions.... The intellectual problem may or may not be related. I know there was some 'abuse' when younger because of poor parenting skills (not unlike the recent news article about the mother who fed liquidised pizza) where mum didn't give correct nutrition, i.e. pure juice at a few weeks old; toddler food at a couple months old etc. whatever was convenient. Any suggestions? or perhaps my post might have given someone a few other ideas? [/QUOTE]
