Potty woes/tight pants etc.

[Mamma_Mia]

I would mention it to the parents. I personally don't like doing the changing of clothes to "hide" it from the parents. They NEED to know what will work and it's confusing ot the child. Speak to them that "DCG really wants to do it all on her own and those tighter pants/undies are making it hard for her. So why not try for the next two weeks with the looser items and see if by then she'll be ok with the other clothing?"

I doubt she'll be ready then but this way the parents feel a little better and can see it's a trasition stage and the easier ou make it the better...

I had to tell my dcparents of a 10mos old to stop sending jeans! The kid couldn't bend and/or move/crawl in them because she was a chunky-monkey and the jeans were the stiff ones. Well once they switched into tights or leggings she'd move everywhere!! It just doesn't click sometimes.
