The Oh Crap! Potty Training Podcast 77: What is Poop Withholding, Really?
Hey, hey! In this episode, I’m diving into the hot topic of poop withholding, again. Poop withholding isn’t about your kid not being "ready"—it's a muscular reaction to anxiety. To help, I’ve launched a Poop Withholding Course with HD videos, workbooks, and a supportive community. Understanding this issue early is crucial, as it ranges from mild to severe anxiety-driven behaviors. Plus, night and nap diapers can complicate things, as kids might hold it in until they're in a diaper again.
Also you guys, I just released the 10th Anniversary Revision of "Oh Crap! Potty Training," and we've added new content on night training and neurodivergence, reflecting the changing parenting landscape!
Tune in for insights and strategies to tackle this challenge.
