About this event:

If your child withholds bowel movements, avoids the toilet, or is caught in a painful cycle of withholding and leaking — this workshop will give you the understanding and tools to break that cycle.

Stool withholding isn't defiance. It's a body, brain, and behavior issue — and it's 100% addressable.

What stool withholding actually is — the physiology of the pelvic floor and why kids can get stuck in this pattern of tension and holding
Recognizing the signs — subtle & not-so-subtle behaviors that signal withholding is happening
Fear, pain & sensory avoidance — how a single painful experience can launch a long-term pattern
The diet & movement connection — what fiber, hydration, and body movement have to do with it
OT & behavior strategies — toilet positioning, scheduled sits, sensory-based approaches, and visual supports
Talking to your child about it — destigmatizing poop talk, managing meltdowns, and celebrating wins

Save your seat.

Reserve your spot, get a calendar invite, and we'll send the recording afterward if you can't make it live.
