Topics that don’t get as much attention as they should are when our kids have issues with potty training, experiencing bedwetting, and childhood constipation. I can understand because they’re not the most glamorous topics, but some children experience these issues. And when it happens to your child, it can be worrying and frustrating. That’s why we wanted to bring an expert to our podcast for this discussion.

In this episode, our guest is Dr. Steve Hodges, an associate professor of pediatric urology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. He is the country’s leading authority on bedwetting, potty training, and childhood constipation. Dr. Hodges has authored numerous journal articles and books for children and parents, including Bedwetting and Accidents Aren’t Your Fault and The M.O.P. Book: A Guide to the Only Proven Way to STOP Bedwetting and Accidents. He is a father of three and on a mission to inform families that bedwetting is totally misunderstood and highly treatable. And it might just be because your kid is experiencing childhood constipation!

We’re grateful to have Dr. Hodges on our podcast to answer our questions about potty training, bedwetting, and childhood constipation. He’s giving us the real scoop on poop and sharing his expert advice and recommendations to parents out there. Let’s welcome Dr. Hodges!
