Is your child holding in their poo?

Poo withholding is when children try to avoid passing a poo and it can be particularly common when they are potty training. It can also be more common in children with additional needs, such as autism. While poo withholding can be stressful and worrying for families, there are practical ways to help and support is available.

Poo withholding can lead to constipation and poo accidents. If you're concerned your child is avoiding the toilet at home or school, we have practical advice, information and tips on our website which covers:

💩 What is stool withholding?
💩 Why is your child holding poo?
💩 Signs that your child is poo holding
💩 What can happen when children hold their poo?

Understanding the reasons behind poo withholding is the first step towards helping your child develop healthy toilet habits and preventing constipation from becoming a problem.

In b3 we had lots of fun using our fine motor skills using different items to press into the polystyrene.
Some children tested their ideas and used the lollipop sticks to hammer the spaghetti and use as a saw.
