🟡 Why am I seeing so many 💩💩 problems right now?
After just two weeks back in practice, one thing is very clear:
both children and adults are struggling with these issues.
✨ And it’s not a coincidence.
The holiday period often means:
• Later bedtimes
• Different foods
• Less structure
• Ignored body signals
Then suddenly… back to school, back to work, back to routine.
Our bodies don’t love abrupt change.
When routines disappear and then return quickly, the bladder and bowel often respond by holding on.
For kids, this can look like:
🚽 constipation
🚫 toilet refusal
💩 poo accidents
😣 withholding
For adults:
• constipation
• difficulty emptying
• urgency or leakage
• abdominal discomfort
💡 Why does this happen?
Anticipating change (new classrooms, new teachers, busy workdays, unfamiliar toilets) triggers subconscious holding.
Holding leads to harder stools, reduced sensation, and disrupted bladder–bowel coordination — in both kids and adults.
🌱 Simple things that help:
✔ Re-establish regular toilet times (especially after meals)
✔ Encourage relaxed sitting — no rushing
✔ use a foot stool, hips relaxed, belly soft
✔water, water, water
✔ Normalise listening to body signals again
If bladder or bowel problems linger, it’s not “just a phase” — support can make a big difference.
