I think you are training them not to defecate normally.
And I reply:
Remarks like that are almost funny, given M's history and all those doctor/hospital appointments of her younger years as we tried to find a physical explanation for why, regardless of diet, she couldn't empty her dirt-chute frequently and copiously....oh, what am I up to, feeding the trolls!

@SuziSatan02 Also adding the irritant substance is a good idea if you have a kid who's an incomplete-emptier - and by keeping score, paying attention to what they eat as well as how much they do, you can tell when they haven't done enough dooeys recently and it's time to put something in them to make sure they do a big one.
Not doing enough dooey, in quantity, come the time, as well as not enough in terms of frequency - another reason for the irritant-substance treatment

It’s very important to let kids not withhold Poo.
So I would administer a soap enema if they withholding more then 2-3 days.

To remedy constipation, I have used a bulb syringe. I can feel how full the bowel is getting while squeezing the bulb. The more quantity that can be delivered slowly the better the results.

@Kathy4161 oh Kathy I used the bulb syringe too for my girls until 8.
But I used more than one filling for mine from 5 yo on

@Birgit12
What size bulb did you use. I used a 4oz until age 9 then a 8oz was used.

@Kathy4161
It was almost the same here but later I used a bag with 600-2000 ml

On another forum I read that, as a child, after the author had been given a suppository his parents were "staring at his bottom to see when it was taking effect". I don't know whether that meant he was coerced into some unusual shitting-position, or it just meant he was kept locked in position, over the knee, for some minutes after the insertion, with his parents watching for physical signs that he was about to do. Which, I guess, makes some sense, butt they might just have well have kept a finger up his dua for some minutes until they were sure that the suppository was starting to melt.

A soap suds enema or DSulcolax suppository work well.
