Product description
From the author
This 21-page first-person social story addresses fear around bowel movements. It models naming a feeling, breathing, positive self-talk and thinking about happy things.
Read with a familiar adult and follow the child’s existing support plan. The source includes absolute frequency and comfort claims that need qualification; the story does not provide an individualized constipation treatment.
