I have a DCB that just turned three 9/1 and was in a preschool but had to leave because they said he wasn't ready - was having lots of accidents. DCM contacted me and I enrolled him middle of September.
He told me he had to go potty twice the first day but then since then he never tells me. I mean, hasn't even one time since. I've also noticed he needs help with his pants getting them on/off, help with washing his hands. After a month and 1/2 he still will just stand at the sink not knowing what to do if I tell him to wash his hands. I also have noticed I can't understand him most of the time, he doesn't know his name when I ask him and he still is playing along side other kids, never with them. He doesn't participate in circle time either, just sits there.
How long do I wait to bring up the lack of speech to parents? He is shy as well so I had been waiting to see if that was it. Or do I not bring it up until he is 3.5y giving him more time? He is the youngest and has older siblings that maybe talk for him?
Also, they said he has really fallen behind on using the potty at home too so I asked if he had been potty trained long and found out it was just a week or two before preschool started.
I think from my end I will keep working on hand washing and doing his pants so he can do those himself. Does anyone have some advice for potty training a child with speech delay?
