A member asked:
My 6 year old son does not want to make a #2 in the toilet. he has some fear of the toilet. is his pediatrician the only option to assist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Behavioral therapy: Your doc may refer you to a therapist that works with children. This often requires a team effort, with the doc working to assure the kids stool is soft & there are no treatable issues caused by stool retention. The behavioral therapist tries to explore the kids fears & devise a plan to return to normal toileting over time in a step wise plan.
