Description
Constipation and soiling often go hand in hand, and are surprisingly common (10-16% in children over 4, up to 50% in children with additional needs). At Kids That Go we talk about poo a lot! We’ve developed this resource pack to equip parents/caregivers with the information they need to help their child overcome this complex, toileting challenge. In this 75min video, Rebecca Khan our Director and Senior Occupational Therapist will address the key issues relating to constipation and soiling and offer practical strategies that will support you as you help your child.
Rebecca has extensive experience in her work as a Continence Therapist and continues to offer hope and solutions to many families. This resource pack will equip you with knowledge and confidence to address poo difficulties. The aim is to support you to prevent toileting anxiety and/or medical complications that perpetuate a cycle of withholding, constipation and associated behaviours.
The resource pack includes:

- what causes soiling and what can I do about it?
- when do I see a doctor and how might they help?
- why doesn’t my child just GO? It seems so much easier and less messy.
- what if my child hasn’t got an urge, or I am not sure if they do?
