Get to know the doctor who developed M.O.P.!

Parents are often told that Ex-Lax causes “dependence” and “toxicity,” enemas are “traumatic,” "overly aggressive," and cause “lazy bowel,” and Miralax is the safest, most effective treatment for enuresis/encopresis. But are these claims supported by evidence—or unfounded assumptions? In this eye-opening class, Dr. Hodges dives into the published research, challenging common concerns and fears. Learn what the science really shows about these treatments.

By the time families discover M.O.P., they’re often exhausted and discouraged—frustrated by failed treatments and beyond ready to leave pull-ups behind. M.O.P. is often life-changing but requires experimentation. Dr. Hodges identifies common missteps that slow progress or cause setbacks and plateaus. Learn when to tweak a child’s regimen, when to stay the course, and how to taper off enemas and laxatives with the best odds of avoiding relapse. This is a great troubleshooting course for families already using M.O.P. and a valuable preview of pitfalls for those just starting out.

​Severe constipation is often missed in children with enuresis because standard diagnostic methods are unreliable. X-rays offer vital clarity and are powerful tools for guiding treatment—yet they’re underused and frequently misread. Dr. Hodges explains why he x-rays his enuresis patients and why radiologists often mistake serious stool buildup for “moderate” constipation. He shows you how to distinguish a normal rectum from one that’s full and dilated from one that’s severely impacted. Learn when imaging is essential, when to repeat it, and how x-rays compare to ultrasounds and CT scans. WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: The confidence to advocate for x-rays—and the skill to recognize significant constipation on imaging.

“Don’t worry—you’ll outgrow it.” That’s what families are told, even when bedwetting continues into the teen years. But for some kids, dryness never comes—and the emotional toll can be profound. In this session, Dr. Hodges explains why bedwetting lingers, why standard remedies fall short, and why he starts treatment at age 4. You’ll learn the M.O.P. approach to enuresis, when to add medications, and when to pivot to bladder Botox.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: A clear, hopeful path forward for a child with persistent bedwetting.

In neurodivergent children, pee and poop accidents are often brushed off as “just part of the deal.” The real cause—chronic constipation—gets missed, and kids go without treatment. Families are left to manage the stress and mess, with no end in sight. Autistic children are especially vulnerable, as many can’t verbalize discomfort or explain they can’t feel the urge to poop. Dr. Hodges has a large caseload of neurodivergent kids and finds they respond well to M.O.P., often to their parents’ surprise. He shares his approach, including alternatives when enemas aren’t an option.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: Real hope—and a clear, doable plan to help a neurodivergent child leave accidents behind.

Parents ask, “How did my kid get so constipated?” Usually there’s no medical cause—no motility disorder or dairy allergy—and often diet and exercise play a minimal role. Plenty of Dr. Hodges’ most severely backed-up patients are kale-loving athletes. The real culprit? A perfect storm of modern life: genetic wiring, preschool potty deadlines, school bathroom rules, tall toilets, and a world where we’re constantly urged to “hold it.” And sure, chicken nuggets and screen time. Dr. Hodges unpacks the multiple reasons kids override the signal to poop—and how to help your child break the cycle without power struggles.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN: A fresh perspective on why kids delay pooping—and how to help them go without a fight.
