I was invited to come to speak about toilet training to some parents in the CDNT Sligo. I was only too delighted to take the spin to Sligo to talk about poo and the loo!!
This is part of a program Louise has set up to support parents and their children on their toilet learning journey.  I will be holding a weekly Q&A on zoom from next week for 6 weeks. So today we spoke all about poo because this in my opinion is the biggest obstacle for many learning to use the loo! Constipation can be really hard to spot as it can be confusing. Some kids will  poo daily and still be constipated!! 
Here’s some feed back from the day:
Quotes from parents:
•	“That even if my child is going for a poo daily, he still might be constipated. Please can we have more workshops like this. This is hugely beneficial and eye opening about what could be causing issues for our kids”
•	So much information on stools and constipation. Excellent. So much information, fantastic”
•	The connection between holding the bladder and constipation, light bulb moment”
•	“There is a lot I know now that I didn’t before so I’m going to use the strategies”
•	“My child might be constipated even though he poo’s multiple times a day”
•	“I would now query constipation for my child”
•	“I will keep up with the Movicol”
•	“My child may suffer from constipation”


If you would@like me to come to your service to educate parents or staff just drop me a message.
