The Constipation Game Plan: A Step-By-Step Guide to Managing Your Child’s Chronic Constipation Paperback – February 25, 2022

This book helped me understand that 1) my son was constipated 2) that his constipation was affecting his ability to hold his bladder during the day and at night and 3) that there is a systematic way to reverse this problem over time. Following this plan got my son out of overnight pull-ups (within 3-6 months of following the daily poop routine). It also drastically improved my sons mood and behavior because he felt better! Now my son poops every morning and stays dry all day in kindergarten. You have to put in the work for this plan to be successful, but it’s very worth it!

"I have been a pediatric occupational therapist for several years, but, until I read The Constipation Game Plan, I had very few tools in my toolbox for helping kids who struggle with chronic constipation (as well as urinary and fecal incontinence). This book is highly readable (it took me about two hours), and has helped the families I work with immensely. I highly recommend it!"

This book lays out a thoughtfully detailed plan to help both kids and adults alike with their constipation. The best part is the numerous suggestions about types of breathing, positions, excercises, and foods that could greatly improve ones chronic constipation and WHY these changes can and will help.

I love the author’s enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity about a topic many therapists see on a regular basis but is not focused on enough in graduate curriculums. I know this book will be valuable to countless parents and therapists alike.

I truly appreciate this book which is easy to read and provides information and insight that I was not able to find elsewhere. It's been a very helpful ongoing resource and reference.

This book is an easy read that gives enough of the science to create a baseline knowledge, but strongly focuses on practical strategies for parents to implement. As a paediatric physio I am excited to be able offer this as an excellent resource for parents. It’s certainly helped fill in some gaps for me to!
