🌟 “Super Poo!” 🌟

Have you met Super Poo?

I use him a lot in my training 🌟

Through my role with children, their families, carers and professionals different types of visual aids are always used where ever possible to promote understanding 🌟

It has been identified that using visuals when teaching or sharing information, helps an individual grasp the content, promote associations and memory recall by up to 49%!

Do you know what to look out for with your child’s poo? The type according to the Bristol Stool Chart? The size? How often poos need to be passed?

Today, I was very excited to share another simple but affective visual with a wonderful online group of nursery nurses, child minders, nurses and public health care nurses, who support children and their families out in the community. Introducing, Super Poo! He was able to help all the online learners today, learn more about POO!

Another amazing group today🌟 Thankyou so much for all your kind words!

Together, we really are able to reach more children and their families and continue to promote positive and successful Toileting experiences 🌟

Could I ask a poo question??? A bit embarrassing for my daughter... but I’ve always wondered whether it’s to do with muscle tone or something... she does very large poo S . Sometimes they are impossible to flush and we have to get a stick or something. She is generally healthy and eats a good diet ( most of the time). This has always been the case...curious really

Thankyou for taking the time to ask your question. I appreciate that talking about “poo” isn’t easy, this is why I wanted to share this post, because poo, can really affect and impact so many different aspects of our lives, physical health, emotions, ability to eat, sleep and so much more!

Poos should be passed either once, twice or three times a day or four times a week and should “not” be large in appearance.

When thinking about poo, we need to consider the size, how often they are being passed, the time, the type according to the Bristol Stool Chart and the colour.

I would always recommend monitoring, making a note of poo patterns, including the highlighted details over a fourteen day period, to give a clearer picture of what is really happening for you and your family.

When large or extra large poos are passed, especially when they are difficult to flush and need assistance in breaking them down within the toilet, this is an indication that poo has been present within the body for longer than it needs to be, resulting in poos becoming dryer, firmer and more difficult to pass. Large and extra large poos are one of the indicators that constipation is occurring.

Monitoring and a comprehensive assessment can confirm this.

Should constipation be present a dis impaction regime is required to reduce and stop the occurrence of constipation with a follow up maintenance dosage to ensure this does not return.

If you would like to discuss any of this further, please feel free to contact me. Help and support is available!

By asking your question about poo, you are on the road to helping your daughter. The next stage is confirming what your daughters poo patterns are at present, confirming what they should be and then seeking help.

Thankyou for taking the time to ask your question
