It’s more common than you think.
Many children avoid using the school bathroom because of:
• Lack of privacy
• Fear of bullying
• Dirty facilities
• Anxiety
• Not wanting to interrupt class
Avoidance can lead to:
• Constipation
• Daytime wetting
• Recurrent UTIs
• Bladder dysfunction
When children repeatedly “hold on,” the bladder and bowel patterns can become disrupted.
If your child is struggling, early support can make a significant difference — without blame or shame.
