In this episode of Ask Dr Jessica, our guest is Naama Cameron, Child Behavior Specialist.  Naama specializes on the topic of withholding stool, which is when a child holds in a bowel movement instead of allowing it to pass out of the body.  If done for long enough, stool withholding removes the “urge” to poo, and the child then feels short term relief that they have avoided their fear.  Many toddlers withhold, often during the potty training, and parents are at a loss for what to do.  Naama gives great advice on how to make it all come out okay in the end (pun intended!) :)

Naama Cameron, MS is a Parent Coach and Child Behavior Specialist.  She is an incredible coach and resource to families, especially with the topics of potty training, social coaching and behavior counseling.  To find out more about Naama, her website is: www.naamaparentcoach.com and you can find her on Instagram at: naama_parent_coach.
