On Potty Training Policies and a "Potty Watch"....

[Blackcat31]

This is to Blackcat:
Its just myself and my Mother that run this daycare and we both contribute to the potty training. But thank you for all your input.

I feel like I should apologize...
I hope you didn't take my reply as one that was saying you shouldn't do what you do...

If you did take it that way, please know I didn't mean it that way at all.

I was only saying what has worked in my experience.

Definitely NOT dissing you for doing what works for you.

There are alot of things I won't do now that I used to do for years.

It's a journey for all of us and although we all might have the same goal, we have different factors that influence our choices in what services we offer and which ones we don't.

So again I wasn't trying to say you were wrong.

Thank you. Yes I agree there also many things we used to do that we don't anymore. The longer your in this business the more you learn.

I recently had a DCG who's parents said she's Potty trained and does great at home blablabla! Put her in underwear and she peed all over my house and every set of clothes I had for her. :confused: it turned into the same pissing match about why she can't go here but goes at home. Dad brings her in a soggy diaper every morning from their 40 min drive to my house. That's NOT potty trained. DCG hardly talks at all, she merely swats at her nether-regions and/or whines when she has to go. If I could help her in time she would go, but she didn't take off the undies by herself or anything. I could also tell she was feeling guilty when she had an accident. I think at home she just runs around nudey bottom and goes on the potty when she can to get praise from mom and dad. She doesn't communicate that she needs to go, she doesn't go to the potty, she just stands there swatting herself.
I used a form similar to one above about communicating her need to go, being accident free in a PullUp for 2wks and such. We even tried again a couple weeks later when she said peepee and went but it was literally once and that was it. I finally put the potty away and said we're giving it a break here. She won't be 2 until Sept so it's not like she's even over due to learn. I never really considered the idea that they want to put her in preschool this fall and are pushing it now! LOL good riddance! I can deal with most of what they do but I'm not their biggest fans by any means. I think they are doing the new age parenting thing and treating her like a mini-adult when she isn't. They think being parents consists of modeling her after them and not learning who she is! Makes me sad.
