Is Your Child Struggling with Constipation?

Constipation is a real problem for many children, and it’s more common than you might think. In fact, studies have shown that up to 30% of kids struggle with this digestive issue at some point.

PARENTING HACK

The Potty Timer

Help your child develop a regular bathroom routine by using a potty timer. Set a timer to go off every 1-2 hours as a reminder for your child to try using the bathroom. This helps prevent accidents and encourages regular bowel movements, which can be particularly helpful for children dealing with constipation. Make it fun by letting your child choose a timer sound or a small reward for successful trips to the potty.

PORCH IDEA

Relaxation and Hydration Station

Set up a cozy corner on your porch with comfortable seating and calming activities to help your child relax, which can aid in relieving constipation. Include a small table with a variety of hydrating drinks like infused water or herbal tea, which can help promote regular bowel movements. Add some books or a portable music player with soothing tunes to create a tranquil environment.

This setup encourages your child to take a break, stay hydrated, and relax, all of which can contribute to better digestive health.
