I think this is the case with my dcg...she will come to me and stand there just smiling and the only way I know she has to go to the bathroom is that she pulls ever so slightly on her underwear at the side...LOL. I don't accept this and make her tell me what she needs...her teacher sure isn't going to have time to notice her standing there smiling like that. But I have a feeling her parents respond to it.

Parents forget to let their children grow up and continue using the cutesy voices and accept cute smiles as answers.
