Frequent peeing

[playfelt]

Thanks Playfelt and Reggio! Visual schedule seems to be common to all of your suggestions. She will often ask me throughout the day "And daddy's gonna pick me up?"...just needing to check...and when I say "of course",...then she can relax for a bit. Playfelt, actually according to her parents she was disciplined in a harsh way...which is why they pulled her out (she was left alone in the basement for 30 minutes because she was crying and cuoldn't say why). I don't know how she was disciplined for potty accidents, but it is very likely that the reaction was overly harsh. The crazy thing is, I cannot even fathom how this child would ever need to be disciplined in a harsh way...she is sooooo well behaved and polite and sweet. Maybe it was the tears over anxiety producing events that led the provider to get frustrated instead of realizing that if she had just let her keep her slippers in the same spot every day for example, those tears could be avoided! I am going to work on coming up with a visual schedule. I am guessing photos would work best as she is barely 3 and abstract illustrations may be misunderstood.

One of my daughters has learning disabilities and the only teachers she did well for were those that realized things had to be done a certain way or not at all.

Try taking actual pictures of things as the clues for her such as her shoes, the front door, daddy's car - even daddy. Then put the pictures in a photo album in order. She can go look whenever she needs to and sees what she has done and what still needs to be done.
