Bless you Shelly.

Divorced mom here. Two grown boys now. In my 70s now.

One of mine would accept being given a enema.
The other one would fight it. As soon as he saw me getting the enema bulb out he would fuss.

First few enemas I asked a neighbor mom to assist.
I learned best to have every thing out and read for the enema.
Then go get the one who is gettin an enema.
The other mom helped hold him when he was getting the enema. She talked to him. To calm.

I think you told he is 6? I didnt start using the bag enema until mine were much older.

The bulb enema was given on a table. On towel. Laying on back. Legs held up some.
The bag enemas were given on the bed

You are right, really not worth the detailed explnation of explaing why the enema is needed.
WHen mine were older, I explained the why.

Enemas are better than giving harsh laxatives and other things.

Best to consult with doctor before giving enema.

Blessings
