Forced Potty Training

[Peacefulbird]

Hi Elly,

It's nice to hear that you are helping the parents to potty train, you're right no child should be forced to do what they don't want to do.

I also help parents to potty train and basically so far my group of children are trained by 2yo. Boys or girls. I follow their lead we create a routine and it just happens. I do not sell a potty train service (I do not like to create false expectations which eventually become a stressful situacion for me as the caregiver and for the child in care), all the parents in my group know I'll support but not force.

IT all usually starts here "organically", then I ask the parents for their support just by following our routine (which for many parents it is a pleasant surprise when they notice their kids can go, and aren't verbal yet;0) no. Nothing is forced some get the idea sooner than others. And my program continues as it supose to be no delays, no frustrations etc.

Many start in my group not knowing even that it comes with a potty training support;0)

Just support when you can and communicate that's the way to go.
