✨ Does your child withhold 💩 ? You’re not alone. Many kids struggle with p**p withholding, and it can turn into a stressful cycle of constipation, discomfort, and even fear of the toilet.
One simple tool that can help: build a potty stop 🛑 into your child’s evening routine.
👉 before getting into the bathtub or taking a shower, encourage your child to sit on the toilet for a few minutes. No pressure to “go” — just sit. Add a stool for their feet, a stuffed animal, or even a favorite book to make it comfortable and predictable.
Over time, this consistent routine helps:
✅ Teach their body it’s safe to relax and release
✅ Prevent hard, painful p**ps
✅ Reduce pelvic floor tension
💡 Remember: success isn’t about immediate results — it’s about creating a safe, supportive habit.
💬 have you tried adding a potty stop to bedtime? How did it go in your house?
