I've always believed that a child will not potty train until they are ready. You can't force it. And it's not your job... it's the parents job. We can support it as much as possible, but it takes time and it's not up to us.

So, as much as I applaud you trying to take the bull by the horns and run the show, it's really more then you need to take on. I wait for the parent ( or sometimes the child ) to prompt me.

I have a potty training policy and that's what I go by. I am happy to support potty training, however, a child does not recieve anything but a hug and a "great job" from me when they go. They wear pull ups until they are asking to go and are successful for several weeks. Nap time will wear a pull up until they are dry for several weeks as well. I can not risk having other children involved in accidents. If a parent shows up in underwear because little suzy had a great day yesturday... nope! Put on the pull up. They need to have several great days until they go with undies in my house.
