Description
Children who suffer encopresis often begin to feel that there is little more to them than the problem itself. In 'Poo Goes Home to Pooland', the problem is embodied in a troublesome character and placed externally to the child. This process aims to place some distance between the child and the blame shame of soiling. This helps to free them from their fears and may mobilise previously beleaguered resources within the child and their family.
'Externalising' stories have proved valuable in engaging children in behavioural treatment programmes wihtin a family therapy context. However, you may find them useful in combination with your chosen therapeutic style.
The style and content of 'Poo Goes Home to Pooland; was designed to suit the cognitive development stage of children up to around seven years of age. Individually illustrations and accompanying text is intended to promote understanding of toileting matters and relieve anxiety. They cover topics such as sharing unhappy feeling and how to reorganise when you need to poo.
Talking about 'Pooland' might help you to engage in getting control over their poo.
Dr Tamsin Black wrote and illustrated ‘Poo Goes Home to Pooland’ in her final year of Doctoral Training in Clinical Psychology at the University of Newcastle and on clinical placement (with John Sands, Consultant Clinical Psychologist) at the Linhope Unit, Ashington, part of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust. She is now a mother of three and working as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in East London.

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing tool - apple version needs updating
The story is amazing and I’ve had brilliant results with my kids. However the apple version has always been somewhat glitchy, now it’s not really working well at all.
The most INCREDIBLE app with immediate results!
Just incredible. As and adult I was sceptical but I planned to show my son when he needed to “go”. He watched it ONCE, killed himself laughing at the expected noises poo made and just like the he got up, sat on the potty and produced - quite unexpectedly! We made such a fuss when I called is to come and look - he was very excited to send poo to pooland. We were in total disbelief!!! Something just resonates with kids - all are different but we had an astounding result! He’s now started progressing to the toilet with gentle encouragement. Than you so much! Amazing!!
Wasn’t expecting that
My 4 year old has been toilet trained for over a year but has still been using “poo nappies” (/diapers) the WHOLE TIME. A friend mentioned this app. Showed it to the kid, doubtful. He watched it twice in a row, told me I could dump his poo from his nappy in the toilet. Told him smushed poo doesn’t work. Later he announced he was going to poo in the toilet! Has been doing so for a few days now! Promises he’s not going back to poo nappies. Gobsmacked! 5 stars! 💩💩💩💩💩
