This is Psychology: Pee, poop, and pre-teen problems with Dr. Jen Theule
Thu Feb 05 2026
Psychology Month is recognized throughout February. This episode kicks off our special Psychology Month series, highlighting the ways psychology contributes to our lives in ways we might not realize.
Just about every little kid has accidents from time to time. But more than one poop accident in a month (encopresis) or more than two pee accidents per week (enuresis) might be cause for concern. Dr. Jen Theule helps explain what signs to look for, how best to potty-train kids, and how psychologists help resolve problems that might occur as children get a little bit older.
