"Step-by-step guidance for parents and others on how to help children and adolescents who soil themselves, using techniques shown to be effective in scientific studies--with a companion book on wetting! Soiling problems are common in children, but also affect adolescents. They are distressing for both children and parents and are often still stigmatized. However, these problems can be assessed and treated effectively. The aim of this guide is to provide information on the different types of soiling and their causes, as well as how to assess and treat them effectively. All recommendations are based on current scientific studies and international guidelines, including those of the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS). The information is intended mainly for parents, but can be useful for teachers, educators, caregivers, as well as older children and adolescents. The objective of this guide is to give short and precise advice on the most important forms of soling that might affect children and adolescents. In a very practical way, step-by-step instructions and concrete recommendations are given to achieve continence.

Also, useful charts and materials are included in the appendix of this book."--.
