Help for kids whose No. 1 fear is going No. 2….The text goes on to offer validation of children’s fears, tips for relaxing, and the reassurance that everyone poops (to borrow Taro Gomi’s title line from his popular 1977 picture book)…. Sure to help kids with this bummer of a problem, and their caregivers, too.
