Child Is 100% Potty Trained At Home But Not Here

[ColorfulLearning]

the other option is that the parents are lying to you (whether intentionally or unintentionally). They may just ask her or take her often enough to where it is just not a problem at home. They may also just be flat out lying because its easier for them to act like its not a problem. Its amazing what parents will lie about when comparing what their kids are or are not doing at home. Sometimes it is just the perspective and other times, it is deception.

omg so true. I had a parent bring me underwear and tell me they were potty training and the kid would come in diapers size 3 so I just figured she was just using up what she had...fine right? nope...after 2-3 weeks she brought him in size 4, then months later it came out that she wasn't even potty training him. Guess she thought I was gonna take care of it by myself . I made her bring me pull-ups and I just stopped putting him on the potty. If your not doing it at home, im not doing it either. So its in my policy I will start only once your child is showing readiness at home and they still can only use pull ups here until they are fully potty trained.

It definitely might be environment

Not that the previous poster should have responded that way - so rude - but the parents may be completely telling the truth and may be at as much of a loss as we are. My son is fully potty trained with his parents. He sometimes asks us to come in the bathroom with him, but he does it all himself. He tells us every time he needs to go. He even told us when he needed to go multiple times when we were at *Disney World.* If that's not a fun and distracting environment, I don't know what is. That was almost 2 months ago. And yet my son still has regular accidents at his home daycare. She will take him and put him on the potty when she knows he needs to go but he won't pee. 5 minutes later if she's out of the room he will pee his pants. He has never done it when she is actually in the room. We think he must just not be comfortable around her but he's been with her almost 3 years since it was just a couple months old. We are thinking of switching daycares because of some other concerns as well, but if anyone has any productive ideas, I'm all ears.

If this were my child and I felt they were fully potty trained but were urinating in their clothes because they were too scared to tell their provider they would not be going back ever again.

Some kids won’t go if someone is right there watching them on the toilet. I find they’ll go if I step out of the room....I guess the pressure is off.
