    Dr. James Fortenberry of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta answered:
    • Feed your child at the same time every day.
    • Have your child exercise regularly.
    • Allow time for your child to sit on the toilet so he can have a stool.
    • Have regular toilet times for your child once or twice a day – after eating a meal is best.
    • Avoid making toileting a “big” issue.
    • Do not criticize or embarrass your child about his toileting problems.
