[QUOTE="Fran, post: 257047, member: 3"] Is this child 13months old? or am I reading this wrong. It isn't uncommon for toddlers to be afraid to go potty. I think the current thing is Mirelax everyday in juice. I wish we had it when difficult child was younger. It's not harsh and doesn't do damage! Get a routine and feed the child the fiber and bowel healthy foods. Of course, we all know that kids at this age are picky eaters. I don't really know what the right thing is. I tried to leave it be a non issue and I didn't have great luck maybe what they are prescribing is more effective. I think there are kids who, like mine, didn't make the connection between the sensation and the potty. He had a delay in that area so he shouldn't be punished for it or forced. All I wanted to do is not make him hurt or embarassed. Others may be more fearful and are afraid of going. Allergies are another biggie. This isn't really an issue of parenting but of all the things that must develop for a child to master the potty. For sure we know that it should not be handled as a punitive exercise. I went to specialists. We all know if you talk "potty" problems too long that everyone including the specialists think it's a parent issue. I'm sure that is why there is not much talk of this very common problem. No one wants to talk about it. [/QUOTE]
