I have a daycare child who will not be 2 until the Fall. Mom told me the other day that they will begin toilet training this summer. The child has delays across the board, which parents won't acknowledge. Communication skills and motor skills are significantly delayed. Is there a tactful way to explain that the child isn't ready, if they can't communicate the need to go/ or have already gone, as well as inability to use stairs to get to bathroom, and inability to pull pants up/down. I gently used the "gender stereotype" that most boys aren't ready until at least 2.5 years, but was taken aback at the request, and couldn't come up with a good answer on the spot. Suggestions please!
