With that said, I can say that I actually did have a conversation in which I encouraged my teen to possibly employ some habits that may make this a regular thing in the morning. But, it was in response to issues that she was having, mainly, that she's an athlete and this fall, she was constantly having to go urgently in the middle of a tournament. It would start with stomach pain in the middle of a game, then running to the porta potty in between games. It was stressful for her, so we talked about things like a big glass of warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to see if she couldn't take care of it in advance to avoid this. Would I ever have had such a conversation just to have my teens join me in my regular morning BM? Hell no. This particular conversation was a little amusing, but I will say, the very next weekend, she was pretty excited that she felt much better going into the tournament. Just saying.
This is anxiety. She was having anxiety in the middle e of the tournament. I'm shocked you did not pick.up on this.
