Under normal circumstances, a child will gain control of his or her bladder and bowels by the age of four. If this does not happen for whatever reason, the child’s social, mental and physical health can be affected. Health professionals have a duty of care to enable continence problems to be overcome as far as possible, and this book explains how this can be done.

This comprehensive text explores all continence problems in children and gives practical, easy-to-adopt guidance on how they can be controlled and managed in the clinical and community setting. Chapters are written by leading practitioners from a range of disciplines: nursing, medicine, surgery, psychology and education. The book emphasises the importance of thorough assessment and identification of the causes of incontinence, and advises on addressing problems in the most appropriate way for the individual child.
