🚨 Quick Check for Parents (Be Honest)
If you answered YES to even one of these, keep reading.
⬜ Your child goes days without pooping — or only goes with laxatives
⬜ You’ve done multiple clean-outs or been told to “stay on Miralax”
⬜ Pooping causes fear, withholding, or daily stress
⬜ You’ve been told “it’s just a phase” — but it doesn’t feel right
⬜ Things are being managed, not actually improving
Here’s what I need parents to understand:
Waiting doesn’t make these patterns disappear.
It usually makes them harder to unwind.
Kids adapt.
Bodies compensate.
And what starts as “manageable” often becomes more complex over time.
That doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong.
It means you were never given the full picture of why this is happening. You’ve been shown how to manage , not correct. That is the biggest factor.
At WellieWay, our flagship Rootin’ for Poopin’ program exists because constipation is rarely just a fiber issue — it’s a whole-body rhythm issue involving digestion, nervous system regulation, daily habits, and behavior patterns.
When parents finally understand what’s going on underneath the surface, things begin to change — often faster than they expect.
If your child is struggling and you’ve been told to wait it out, I encourage you to learn more about the support we offer.

Clarity changes the trajectory.
And no family should have to guess their way through this.
