Encopresis You Can Beat It

Dr. Baruch Kushnir presents a description of his intervention model that has freed thousands of children from encopresis by pinpointing 3 different groups: 1. Toilet anxiety 2. Soiling 3. Soiling and prolonged constipation

"My child asks for a diaper every time she needs to poop." "My child never poops on the toilet; only in his pants." "My child has to release some feces in his pants before going to the toilet." "My child withholds his poo for days to the point where he can't eat or move." "I am exhausted by the useless trials of offering rewards, giving stool softeners, giving reminders, comparing my child to others, and being furious." If any of those statements sound familiar, this is exactly the book for you. Dr. Baruch Kushnir presents here a description of his intervention model that has freed thousands of children from encopresis by pinpointing 3 different groups: Toilet anxiety: Children who can only poop in a diaper or in their pants. Soiling: Children who can use the toilet for defecation but also release feces into their pants. Soiling and prolonged constipation: Children who refrain from having a bowel movement for many days or even weeks. For each group, he provides a unique, practical, effective, step-by-step program for parents to carry-out. Dr. Baruch Kushnir explains to parents the pointlessness of their repetitive trials of offering rewards, giving stool softeners, giving reminders, becoming angry, comparing their child to others, reading books, etc.In his clinic and in this book, he makes a point of releasing parents and children from the vicious cycle of doing more and more of the same useless, distressing, and damaging actions. Instead, he presents creative, innovative, and effective interventions. Chapter 5 of the book is dedicated to sensitive toilet training and provides a list of Dos and Don'ts to avoid crucial parenting mistakes.

f your family is worn out from your child's struggles with bedwetting and/or daytime accidents, you will be grateful for The M.O.P. Book: Anthology Edition. The 4th edition is a vastly expanded and updated version of Dr. Steve Hodges' groundbreaking guide to resolving enuresis (bedwetting and daytime pee accidents) and encopresis (poop accidents). The book is for parents who are tired of waiting for their child to "outgrow" accidents and who think they have "tried everything." Experts at Mayo Clinic call M.O.P. "incredibly effective." Parents call it "life changing" and "a life saver." M.O.P. stands for the Modified O'Regan Protocol, named for Sean O'Regan, M.D., a pioneer in bedwetting research. The four-phase regimen, combining enemas and laxatives, has been modified by pediatric urologist Steve Hodges, M.D., of Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Published research shows M.O.P. is the only reliable solution to bedwetting and daytime accidents - far more effective than medication, bedwetting alarms, or Miralax. M.O.P. is based on a simple, proven fact: bedwetting is caused by chronic, severe constipation. Stool piles up in the rectum, pressing against the bladder nerves; only when the rectum is cleared out on a daily basis can it shrink back to size, stop aggravating the bladder, and regain the tone and sensation to full evacuate daily. The 4th edition of the Anthology includes Dr. Hodges' updated guidance on Ex-Lax, oil-retention enemas (the Double M.O.P. regimen), and large-volume enemas (M.O.P.+).The Anthology also includes tracking calendars for parents and children; "The Physician's Guide to M.O.P," created for parents to hand to their medical professionals; and "Answers to 53 Questions About M.O.P.," a compilation of helpful posts from Dr. Hodges' private Facebook support group for parents. New to the 4th edition: the introduction to "M.O.P. for Teens and Tweens," which offers bedwetting kids ages 10 to 18 encouragement and explanations they can relate to.
