This module discusses toilet training, bedwetting (enuresis), daytime wetting, constipation and soiling. It explains the prevalence and overlap of bladder and bowel problems in children and how neurodevelopmental problems can impact on continence.
The causes of bladder and bowel problems in children and their relationship to each other will be explored and a holistic approach to treatment outlined.
