BEHAVIORAL

Voiding school

Children are educated on the kidneys, bladder and bowel function, the importance of regular voiding and drinking habits, and avoidance of constipation. Balloons, books, videos, animations, the pictures of a satisfied and irritated bladder and a poo-cars formula track are used to exemplify the function of urinary and defecation systems. During toilet visits children are given advise about an adequate and relaxed toilet posture with the help of little bench under the feet if needed. Each child also make their own timetable for peeing, pooing, and water drinking times, which they then should learn to follow in day-care, pre-school and at home. At the end of each session child, parent and public health nurse/urotherapist discuss any individual advice and the homework for the next time.
