How do we teach children to have a healthy attitude to a natural function?
Why are we so squeamish when talking about some of the body's natural functions, especially going to the toilet ? Does our own instinctive disgust affects children's attitudes to their bowels when we come to potty train them?
Jenni is joined by Pat Coldicutt; who runs a constipation clinic in Liverpool and Dr Val Curtis from The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to explore how to give children a healthy attitude to poo.
Poo: A Natural History of the Unmentionable opens at the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum (see website) from 3 August until 28 November. Nicola Davies' book of the same name is published by Walker Books ISBN 0-7445-8634-8.
