My 9 yr old has very large stooles. clogs the toilet frequently. no pain or discomfort. is this normal?

NO: This could be as simple as severe long term chronic constipation... Or as difficult as hirschsprung’s disease. You would be very wise to seek medical evaluation. Once the cause of the issue is know you can have a clear plan of action to resolve things. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001140.htm.
