I Poo in the Loo: A Potty Training Adventure

Product Information

And yes I sort of get what you mean because I was exactly the same before, I would be able to predict exactly how long I could wait or decide I would not need a toilet at all but I’m not 100% confident I could actually fit into your seemingly logical thinking anymore and I have to say it’s highly annoying! Children weakened by frequent diarrhea episodes are more vulnerable to malnutrition, stunting, and opportunistic infections such as pneumonia. About 48 per cent of children in India are suffering from some degree of malnutrition. Diarrhea and worm infection are two major health conditions that affect school age children impacting their learning abilities. When they have their nappy on, encourage them to sit on the potty or toilet when they are doing a poo (and then do the above). To help to make sure they are in the seated position always make sure that feet are supported with their hips and knees in a slight squatting position and their bottom is well supported.They are going to poo more easily when these things are in place. Long-term constipation can lead to faecal impaction. This is where poo has built up in the last part of the large intestine (rectum). If you're caring for someone with dementia or an older person, constipation may be easily missed. Look out for any behaviour changes such as confusion, as it might mean they are in pain or discomfort. What causes constipation

Women and girls face shame and a loss of personal dignity and safety risk if there is no toilet at home. They have to wait for the night to relieve themselves to avoid being seen by others. George, however, can provide us with an example to work on; how could his journey be continued? It is clear that we need to plan a series of tiny steps, each an achievable goal that does not unsettle George. Have a basket of toys or books which can be just for ‘toilet time’ and can encourage your child to stay on the toilet a little longer.If they are on the toilet longer then it can help with understanding the sensation of needing to poo and giving it time for this to happen.

Step 9: now George will have to be introduced to the toilet, and over time learn to sit on it. Perhaps Peter's story can suggest some steps towards this.Constipation can also be caused by a medical condition such as diverticular disease or bowel cancer, but this is rare. How you can treat and prevent constipation yourself The most popular theory is that “loo” comes from the French “lieu” meaning “place.” According to this theory, “loo” entered the English language during the 18th century when the British began adopting French words. Another theory is that “loo” is derived from the Gaelic “lavagh” or “lavag,” meaning “wash.” Warp Up

The term “loo” is an informal yet polite British term for toilet. It is believed to have originated from the French word “lavoir”, meaning “to wash”.Bulge your tummy muscles forward as you take a deep breath in. ‘Brace’ your tummy to prevent it from bulging further forwards. Do not tighten your tummy. The sensation of doing a poo on the toilet compared to doing it in a nappy is very different.Resistance to doing a poo on the potty or toilet can be for various different reasons (some very individual to the child) but can be: Constipation often plays a part in potty/toilet avoidance. A big, hard, painful poo will scare the child, and to stop it happening again they simply hold on. Look at Advice for Children with Constipation for information on how to recognise if your child is constipated. There is lots more information on the Flowchart for Constipation. Make sure any constipation is really well managed before attempting to change toileting behaviour. You'll be asked to undress from the waist down for the rectal exam. You can ask for a male or female doctor or nurse.

If yours is low pressure, or you don’t know what the pressure level is, this might not be your best option. Some kids are frightened of the toilet because it’s big, and their feet can’t touch the ground. Pop a stepping stool at their feet so they feel more comfortable, and can get on and off the toilet themselves. 9. Cut a hole in their nappy!

You can add fragrance to the mixture to make it smell nicer if you want to but either way, you need to leave it overnight to dry out. Although access to sanitation in rural India is improving, the increase is not equitable. Open defecation is still almost universal among the poorest 20 per cent of the population. There is no reason that shops and cafés can't make their toilets open to the general public, as long as there isn't a queue of people it's not an issue. A small charge for this wouldn't be unreasonable, especially now.

4. Distraction for attention

To start with, sitting on the potty/toilet should have nothing to do with pooing. The emphasis should be completely on relaxed, happy sitting – when you ask them to do so. To start with this may be a five second sit, once a day, fully clothed. That’s fine! Reward them for sitting ( have a look at our Toileting Reward Chart), and resist the temptation to mention wee or poo!
