Potty training woes

[Momof4]

My contract states that once a child knows that they have to go to the bathroom or at least understands what is happening I don't have the time to put in the effort to train a child. In other words, parents must train the child at home for quite a while before I start to help out. I call it Toilet Practice. Training happens after the child understands what is happening. My contract also states that a child must be accident free for 30 days before they can wear underwear.

Right now I have a 2 year old little girl who always poops on the potty but doesn't get the pee part and I have a 3 1/2 year old boy who always pees on the potty but poop is only in his night time diaper. Thank goodness it's only happened once during the day in the last several months that I've been letting him wear his undies at daycare. He still wears a diaper at naptime though just in case. It's wet at least once a week so his 30 days keep starting over. The 2 year old little girl wears diapers all the time.

I have a 2 year old little boy whose parents are working hard on getting him started at home. When he does go in the potty, it's a happy accident, but that's because they are putting him on the potty a lot. However, I'm not putting him on the potty for a few more months when he starts to understand better. I give it my all once a child starts to understand and put them on the potty 3-4 times a day. The older children tell me when they have to go, but when you are putting a 2 year old on the potty at certain times and hoping for success, it's practice!

Today, I received literature from a parent on how to potty train. I don't agree with that method at all, they have to wear panties and I have to take her to the bathroom every 30 minutes. I will have to talk to her this evening and tell her that I will not be following those guidelines. grrr
