Toilet training

[playfelt]

I also do not provide stickers, toys, candy treats, rewards of any kind for going pee - again it is just as normal as now your child can roll over, now your child can stack 5 blocks, now your child can use a sippy cup, now your child can pee in the toilet - normal development. I will let parents know how the day went and what they want to do when they get home is up to them so it allows all parents to do their preferred method. The only fair way to go in group care - either all get for peeing or no one gets.

One trick and this helps parents to see what is happening is to have them draw a smiley face on the pullup when they dress the child in the morning and then promise the child whatever -candy, toy, hug, if they come home with the smiley face on. It takes the pressure off when you remind the child that if they don't go to the toilet in time they won't be able to keep their smiley face - their diaper will get sad and mommy and daddy will be sad too. I get to stay neutral - I am only a facilitator.
