My three-year-old son suffers from constipation. He’s a picky eater which doesn’t help. What would you suggest?

Constipation in children especially when they are particular about what they will and won’t eat can be difficult to manage. However, it is important not to create any additional tension around toileting habits as stress can further contribute to difficulty with bowel movements.
