Common problem: Constipation is a common problem for children. It is usually related to diet and hydration. If the child's overall growth and development is normal, then addressing what your child eats and drinks may be all that is needed. However, if other issues exist, the stool can be a sign of a more serious issue. I am sure the child's physician can answer your questions.
