Frustrated mother
Soiling (pooing in pants) or 'encopresis'  is a problem that affects many thousands of children of all ages.



​It is often very embarrassing for the child
​and frustrating for his or her parents. 
​
It is also a subject which is often considered taboo,
and which few people wish to talk about.
​
​Parents often feel unable to discuss their child's soiling
with their family and friends
and sometimes find it difficult to deal with schools 
and the medical profession.

Unhappy child

Children are also often reluctant to talk about their toilet problems.  They may feel isolated from their peers and believe that they are alone in being unable to keep their underwear clean.

Accidents can be particularly embarrassing if they happen
 ​in public places or at school.


Children who soil may be the victim of teasing or bullying, and may find themselves excluded, or exclude themselves, from socials events, such as birthday parties and school trips.

Lead characters in A Boy Like You and A Girl Like You
These books have been specially written for children aged 5 to 12 who soil their pants.

Help! I Poo My Pants is for children aged 5 to 8 who withhold their poo and make a mess in their underwear.  This book is available in separate editions for boys and girls.

Also in gender specific editions is A Boy Like You and A Girl Like You for children aged 8 to 12 who soil, originally published as a unisex edition called A Child Like You in 2014.


The books were written by James Parkin, who had soiling problems as a child and often messed his pants until he was 11.  He has used his experiences, and those of other children with encopresis, as the basis for writing these books, which he wrote to provide hope and support for children who soil, so they are aware that they are not alone in having this problem and they can, with help, overcome it.

On this website you will find more information on these books, including where to buy them, comments from parents, the author's story of growing up with a soiling problem and more.
