    It's a poo problem Scaredy and I am fairly sure its an emotional issue Suze. I think its an attention thing...

    Bun, can she explain where the pain is? Is it in her tummy or 'further down'?
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I wouldnt have thought she'd hide it if she was after attention. Sounds like she's embarrassed hun.

    I think, personally, she likes attention BUT doesnt want to be embarassed.

    Will get the sticker charts out again and do POSITIVE things instead of me losing my rag.

    I think you can only 'hide it' for so long, then nature has to take its course. I was wondering about the attention thing, but am not sure what to suggest. What made her stop last time?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Bunny, are the positive things unconnected to this problem? I.e. if she wants attention can you give it to her for stuff not related to poo and downplay/avoid reacting to the poo issue?

    Thats what we did last time Katsu-just sorted things out and didnt even talk about it, no big fuss but made big deal about having clean pants etc.

    It worked before so will try again. May take her to Dr just in case-Dr recommended that 'eric' site (I think thats it?) before and will revisit that. I just feel like a crap Mom because I get fed up with the smelly pants etc. I really worry that kids will make fun of her etc
