Stool Retention: Stool retention in a preschooler can be common. If he is avoiding going to the bathroom as often as he needs, he may be leaking the stool instead. Try to give him increased fluids and a diet rich in fiber containing fruits/vegetables/grains. Make a schedule where he has to sit on the toilet at least 3-4 times per day. (reward him for trying with a special book/toy/playtime). See Dr if persists
