Abstract

Toileting problems are a matter of great concern to parents and are a frequent source of family discord, but proper handling of toilet training as well as enuresis and encopresis can ameliorate any untoward effects of these problems. Both the pediatrician and the pediatric psychologist can play a major role in this area.
