- "I knew the solution to the dreaded bowel motility work for years. I couldn't acquire my woman bring upwardly to cooperate. When she wouldn't cooperate, I would give up. I gave upwardly at to the lowest degree 3 or 4 times over a ii twelvemonth period".
- "I was finally able to implement my solution for i elementary argue -- I was learning novel in addition to improve techniques every bit an Alzheimer's caregiver over time. I was figuring out how to brand things fall out through trial in addition to error. I was marrying all of my ideas together in addition to pulling out whatever tools I needed to acquire the chore done".

Throw inwards simply about goodness company positive reinforcement in addition to simply about goodness communication in addition to yous acquire a solution to a problem. You also ask patience in addition to intestinal fortitude. You railroad train these over fourth dimension every bit business office of the attention giving process".
- "I declared country of war on poop. Like most wars, yous direct keep to win a serial of battles over a long menses of fourth dimension earlier yous acquire to declare victory".
- "My sis Joanne was hither acre I was inwards the finally few battles of the Poop-E war. Mom was even thus fighting every twenty-four hours virtually drinking the prune juice. But, I was making headway.
- Finally alongside victory inwards site I stumbled on i finally matter I needed to brand the solution work. The Poop-E in addition to Prune Juice song. I should country songs".
- "Joanne was hither when I was inwards the Poop-E war. When I finally told her on the telephone that I had mom drinking prune juice everyday, she had problem believing it. She saw mom in addition to her anti-prune juice mental attitude inwards person".
So aye it took me years to solve the poop-e problem.
