    I work with parents to potty teach all the time. I provide the child a stuffy toy with underwear on it, and the child takes their stuffy toy to the potty every 30 min when the alarm goes off. Child practices taking down their pants, wiping, washing hands etc. We do that for a few days or a week and the parents do the same at home. Then on the Saturday parents start taking their child to the potty every 30 min while providing them an excessive amount to drink until they have had success a few times. Day two morning they start asking if they have to pee, but no alarm. Day two afternoon they ask child to tell them when they have to go. Day three at day home they are telling me they have to go and all is well. It has worked like a charm for all of the children I have potty taught, except for the ones that were not ready who had parents that insisted they were. It drives me crazy when parents try to rush things.

    Pull ups are not allowed in my day home period, at any time. Pull ups are just diapers they can pull up and down themselves. It's hard I think for children to be expected not to pee in a diaper whether they can pull them up and down themselves or not.

    I think you did very well. I would agree to offer him the toilet, but would not agree to potty teach a child and do a favor for parents that are like this. Geesh. People are really ridiculous.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
