About this title

Synopsis

Stool Withholding: A Practical Guide for Parents

Is your child struggling with constipation, stool withholding, or fear of using the toilet? You're not alone. Thousands of families face the same distressing cycle-yet with the right knowledge and tools, it can be broken.

Written by Dr. Kate McGarry, a Developmental Psychologist specialising in childhood toileting challenges, this practical and compassionate guide helps you understand what's really happening in your child's body and mind. Through clear explanations and evidence-based strategies, Dr. McGarry empowers you to support your child in developing healthy, confident, and stress-free toilet habits.

Discover why stool withholding happens, how to recognise the early signs, and the steps you can take to gently interrupt the cycle before constipation becomes a larger concern. Learn proven techniques to encourage regular, comfortable bowel movements; explore dietary and lifestyle shifts that genuinely work; and gain confidence in guiding your child through toilet training without pressure or overwhelm. You'll also find guidance on when to seek medical support, what treatments are commonly recommended, and how to advocate for your child's needs.

Parents love this book for its calm, practical tone, step-by-step solutions, and deep empathy for both parent and child. Backed by developmental science and informed by real family experiences, this guide offers clarity, reassurance, and genuinely effective strategies.

If your child is avoiding the toilet, holding in their stools, or stuck in painful cycles of constipation, this book provides the understanding-and the plan-you need to help them move forward with comfort and confidence.
