Help! I Poo My Pants - For Boys

[JamesParkin]

My book for boys aged 5 to 8 who withhold their poo and soil their pants, "Help! I Poo My Pants - For Boys", is now available to buy in paperback from ERIC. Designed to help boys to feel less alone with their soiling problems, and encourage them to use the toilet rather than withhold, including when they need to poo at school or away from home, this book draws on my own experiences and emotions when I frequently pooed my pants as a child.

Many parents have also found this book useful in understanding how their son feels about his toilet issues and help start a conversation with him about them. Posters between the chapters seek to reinforce the messages of the book and encourage good bladder and bowel health and bathroom hygiene.

"7 year old Toby is an ordinary boy who has a problem using the toilet. He can’t poo in other people’s homes, or in the boys toilets at school or in public toilets, so he tries to keep his poo inside himself instead. He also does this at home when he doesn’t want to stop playing and refuses to listen to his body.

Because he tries to avoid going to the toilet, Toby often poos his pants, which he finds really embarrassing. He also wets himself sometimes when his poo pushes on his bladder. At school he wears pull-ups and his Mum has to come in to change him when he soils himself in the classroom. And he nearly always needs changing on days out, which makes him feel like he is a toddler.

Can his Mum and Dad, his big sister, his best friend and his new babysitter persuade Toby to use the toilet every time he needs to poo? Can he find the courage to poo in the school toilets? Or will he always have accidents in his pants and be known by his classmates as the Stinky Kid?"
