Poop school?

A story on the CNN website discussed ways to help children, saying some are in a "power struggle" with their parents over pooping.

"Sarah Teres enrolled Molly in the Toilet Training School at Children's Hospital Boston. At age 2½ "...she wouldn't poop. She would hold it for days," Teres admitted.

"By the time the children come in with their families, it has become a power struggle," explained Dr. Alison Schonwald, a pediatrician who supervises the "poop school," as it's affectionately called by staffers. "The kids kind of dig in their heels and put a line in the sand."

"For some kids, the toilet training process can take more than a year, or longer.

"The six-week program at Children's Hospital is one of a handful around the country. Kimberly Dunn, a pediatric nurse practitioner, has worked with some of the 450 young graduates over the years."

Dunn uses books, music and art to help the students overcome their fear of using the toilet.
