Hi, I am 27 years old female and mother of 2 years old kid. Yesterday I was watching very interesting documentary on TV about children's mental development. Between many other things they have mentioned term "anal retention" as important part of child's development. I would like to hear and learn something about it.
Hi, I was very interested in psychological development of children when my daughters were small. From psychological point of view "anal retention" is second stage of child development where child discover possibility to control his feces. He discovers pleasure in it. This term is usually used for people who are worrying too much about small details.
