It Hurts When I Poop!

A Story for Children Who Are Scared to Use the Potty
Ryan is scared to use the potty. He's afraid to have a poop because he's afraid it's going to hurt. When Ryan's parents take him to visit Dr Gold, she engages his imagination with the story of Bill the Coyote's messy house. She also shows him what happens inside the body, and explains how different foods make using the potty easy or hard.

Helping children overcome their fear of pooping with colorful illustrations and a thoughtful story. 

Ryan is scared to use the potty. He is afraid to have a poop, because he's afraid it's going to hurt. He does NOT want to go. This story, along with Ryan's amp quot poop program, amp quot will help young children gain the confidence they need to overcome this common problem and establish healthy habits. Includes a Note to Parents by the author.

From the Note to Parents:

The book includes a amp ldquo poop program amp rdquo that I use with children between the ages of 3 and . While the program is ostensibly for the main character, my hope is that your child will want to follow these steps as well. How you approach the program will vary somewhat depending on your child amp rsquo s age. Most 3- to 4-year-olds do not need to do the program in a formal way. Instead, you can incorporate parts of the program into your daily routine-make the needed dietary changes, reward successful pooping with stickers, and consider reviewing how poops come out of the body. Most 5- to -year-olds are interested in doing the full program, though it is still important to be flexible. For example, if a 5-year-old does not want to do Potty Practice, I would adjust things accordingly.
