To prevent constipation in a child and improve the frequency/consistency of their stools, it is important to ensure they have an adequate intake of fluids and fiber in their diet. One potential solution is to try giving the child prune juice. It is also helpful to make the toileting experience enjoyable with toys or stories. If these methods do not work, polyethylene glycol may be another option to consider.
