How would you address this situation with a DCP...
DCG just turned 2. Has no interest in PT. Does not go on command. Does not tell me when she needs to go or when her diaper is wet. Does not go extended periods with a dry diaper.
Ever since DCG was enrolled, DCM likes to baby talk to her things to tell me right in front of me. DCM never talks to me unless I ask her a question. For the past couple of weeks, the morning conversation before she leaves has been, "S, make sure we tell Miss A we go pee pee in the potty now every 15 minutes, because we have a big girl pull up on and are doing such a good job at home!" Usually this passive aggressive conversation takes place while I am holding DCG or she has walked over to greet me. I can tell by DCGs interest, there is no way they are consistent with PT at home. My problems are that the child isn't ready, I have a crew of 8 (3 in diapers, 3 potty training, 2 potty trained) I do not have time to take her in every 15 minutes to let her sit for 5-10 minutes until she possibly might go, and finally, she still sends her in onsies. Here is my potty training section in my contract, which has been given to this parent twice.
*********************************
Potty Training: I will not initiate this process, only reinforce what is being done at home. Do not send your child in regular underwear until they have remained accident free for at least 1 week, and notifies me when they need to use the restroom. Pull Ups are required for children that still have occasional accidents. I will not attempt potty training for children under the age of 18 months. If children are not able to notify me when they need to use the restroom, or having more than 3 accidents a day, please send child in regular diapers.
Potty Training Dress Code: Please do not bring your child in regular panties or underwear until it has been cleared with me. Children are usually ready for underwear when they are consistently accident free for a minimum of one week AND notify adults when they need to use the restroom or take themselves to the restroom without prompts. During toilet training, I ask that the child be dressed in 'user friendly' clothing as much as possible. The best items are shorts and pants with full elastic waists. Please refrain from using tight clothing, pants with snaps and zippers, belts, tights, long skirts/dresses or overalls. These are difficult for children to remove 'in a hurry'. If your child is wearing an outfit that they cannot remove by themselves, they will not feel confident in the training process.

: Anyway, we have been pottying 2 little girls here the past two weeks and they potty all day for us but will not potty for parents at home...to the point of throwing tantrums. I guess I have the opposite problem but I find it funny for the parents of these kids in my child care:
