[QUOTE="DDD, post: 9014, member: 35"] I know this sounds simplistic....and, in fact, it is LOL.... but on rare occasions the bowel issues can be resolved by combining a couple of simple non-medicinal plans. First, most children with this issue (I personally know) do not have a set time to sit on the toilet. All of our lives are so busy with hussle in the AM to get going, school and chores all day, then the rush to play before dinner and bed etc....there isn't much unallocated time. My Mother was a school teach "back in the day". She told each of us when we were kids that the hardest thing about being a teacher was that you HAD to make sure you planned your bathroom breaks. As kids that made sense to us because we knew teachers had to stay with us and it triggered quite alot of thought and talk at home..lol. We all set out own "time" and since we had four kids and two parents sharing 1.5 bathrooms it was important! Secondly, one a time is set the child often needs an incentive to relax and get down to business. Dangling feet ((solved by using a small stool) can be an irritation with small chidlren. Older children might edd a short simple funny book or picture book. Some kids might respond to soft music which would drown out the noises of the household. A warm towel over the lap in a chilly bathroom might help,too. Each person is unique and making potty time unique for that child can be a big help. IF the time bears no results then the kid gets off the pot, washes his/her hands, puts away the stool and book for next time and moves on without being hassled about it. It may not help your child but it sure can help some. DDD [/QUOTE]
