Stool withholding is most common in two to four year olds but it can also affect school-age children. It is often triggered by an episode of painful constipation. The child then becomes so terrified of experiencing this pain again that they hold on to their poop for days, even weeks, at a time. Just to add to the misery, stool withholding often causes children to soil their underwear. This bewildering problem can sometimes feel like a form of daily torture, not just for the child but for the whole family. Unless you've experienced this with your own child, it's difficult to imagine just how distressing it can be. After reading this, parents will have a straightforward plan of action, with lots of tips and strategies to try at home. The book also contains useful information about the laxative MiraLAX, with guidance on appropriate doses (and RestoraLAX doses for those in Canada). The advice given is backed up by research, as well as the experiences of the author and other parents who have had to deal with this issue. Aimed primarily at parents, this guide should also be essential reading for healthcare professionals, teachers and anyone else who works with, or cares for, children. Stool withholding is still a widely misunderstood issue. If awareness and understanding of this subject is increased, many families could be spared this distressing problem.

Some desertcart Five Star Reviews : ★★★★★ Very useful guide ★★★★★ Amazing book! ★★★★★ Thank God for this book ★★★★★ It worked! ★★★★★ So helpful ★★★★★ Simple and informative ★★★★★ Exactly the info I needed Review: This book was a godsend! Thank you - An absolute lifesaver, thank you for writing this book and not only making me realize that my child is not struggling to go several times a day but struggling to hold. I’m eternally grateful to have figured this out now at just past 2 years old but before we start potty training. I have spent so many days so frustrated at his constant poopy smell from just a small amount of poop passing. I also want to just say that you have also given me recognition and relief from the realization that I myself suffered for YEARS and even into adulthood with withholding. I just thought I had gastric issues and had tried everything in the book. It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my 2nd child and terrified of reliving a horrific constipation issue I had with my first that my dr assured me I could take up to 4 stool softener pills everyday of my pregnancy with no consequences. I did this and Now realize after reading your book that that’s how I finally trained my body to stop unconsciously holding. I’m so relieved to have found your book and be able to help stop this cycle with my son before it starts because it does cause psychological anxiety and distress in my experience. A billion thanks and I know how brave and dedicated one must be to put together their experience into something useful for others so I see you and commend you!

Gave me so much peace and a clear action plan!!! So glad to have found this!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written summary of info *by J***E on May 20, 2026* Book is well written but I feel it sums up all the info online and didn't share anything "new." My 3 year old is terrified of pooping and we've already been on laxatives so I bought this out of desperation in hope it would share some magical Fix but I feel it didnt give me anything new that I hadn't already read online in other forums. Did help remind me we're not alone in our struggle ## Frequently Bought Together - Stool Withholding: What To Do When Your Child Won't Poop!
