PARENTS: talk to your kids about what you heard in the podcast! Here are some things to discuss:
- Holding it - talk to your child about holding behavior and why they hold it at school. Brainstorm with your child and their teacher, ways to avoid holding it
- Medication - I talk more about medicine in other episodes, but you know your kid best, and if you think they would benefit from medication, talk to their pediatrician. I am, by no means, a doctor.
- To help better understand your child's constipation, or encopresis, ask them what symptoms they experience
