[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had encopresis since age 4. I did the exact same things your daughter is doing. I didn't respond to any interventions. I stopped at 14. I went to a new foster home that summer, and the foster family didn't say anything about my underwear. I stopped because adults stopped trying to control my bowel habits. I only now realize I did this because I needed to feel in control of my bowel habits, but back then I did not. I think backing off will help. Say something like "I can't control what you do with your body, now your poop is your responsibility. I'm going to back off, but if you need my help I will be there". I also wonder if she was (and possibly still is) molested. That definitely can lead to encopresis.[/quote] +1[/quote]
