Cristina Acosta Bücher

Endorsed by experts at Mayo Clinic and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Jane and the Giant Poop is the funniest - and most educational - book written about healthy pooping. This clever rhyming book stars Jane, a karate enthusiast who hasn't been her sunny self lately. When her giant poop clogs the toilet, Jane visits Dr. Pooper and learns why her belly has been aching. Soon, Jane becomes an expert about poop in all its shapes - pebbles, logs, globs, milkshakes, and cow patties. Her poop turns mush and then the toilet will flush! Coauthor Steve Hodges, M.D., is a pediatric urologist at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and an authority on constipation, potty training and bedwetting. He and parenting writer Suzanne Schlosberg are co-authors of three other acclaimed books: It's No Accidents, Bedwetting and Accidents Aren't Your Fault, and the The M.O.P. Book. Nobody illustrates poop with as much humor and creativity as artist Cristina Acosta. Jane and the Giant Poop will delight constipated children ages 3 to 10. Parents will learn a lot, too! All preschools and elementary school libraries should own this book.

From the authors of It's No Accident, the definitive book on childhood toileting troubles, comes a supportive, engaging, highly informative, and cleverly illustrated book for children from preschool through elementary age. Little ones will love Dr. Pooper and the wily rabbit. Older kids will appreciate the respectful tone and amusing illustrations. A must-read for preschool and elementary teachers and family therapists, too! Readers will learn what really causes most accidents: a clogged colon, which presses on and irritates the bladder. The book urges families not wait around for children to outgrow accidents or bedwetting and explains how to make the troubles stop for good. A Q&A with Dr. Hodges at the end explains the research behind his approach. This book is an ideal companion to It's No Accident, which explains in detail the therapies described in Bedwetting and Accidents Aren't Your Fault.

“M.O.P. was literally life-saving for my son, who was repeatedly hospitalized for suicidal ideation due to encopresis and enuresis.” — mom of a 16-year-old. “M.O.P. ended up being much easier than I thought it would be.” — 14-year-old. “We found M.O.P. just in time!” — mom of an 18-year-old. Teenage bedwetting (enuresis) and encopresis are often misunderstood and inadequately treated. Despite assurances from doctors that teens will outgrow these issues, half a million do not. This stigma leads to years of ineffective treatments and feelings of shame, causing many to avoid social situations like sleepovers. In this book, Steve Hodges, M.D., a pediatric urologist, addresses middle and high school students directly, reassuring them that their condition is not their fault and is fixable. He introduces an enema-based regimen called M.O.P. (Modified O’Regan Protocol) as a solution. This book supplements the more comprehensive M.O.P. Anthology 5th Edition aimed at parents. Dr. Hodges answers common questions from teens, clarifying that bedwetting is caused by chronic constipation, not anxiety or hormonal issues. By relieving pressure on the bladder, M.O.P. helps end accidents. With extensive experience treating teens and a supportive Facebook group for parents, Dr. Hodges provides valuable insights. Teens share their experiences, including managing social situations while on M.O.P., emphasizing the program's effectiveness despite
