"Please stop potty training"

[sunnydays]

I have the same problem...little one who has been doing really well at home, but won't go for me...won't even try! It's a little frustrating for his parents, but we've tried everything. I can't imagine telling the parents that they should stop at home too since it isn't working here (to turn the situation around). However, I do think you need to have an honest discussion about it with the parents. I would explain all the reasons why you think it is better for the child to continute training with you. I wouldn't lie and pretend he is wearing diapers.

I would never revert backwards either. If he's doing it for you fantastic! Keep doing whatever it is you are doing. If she wants him in diapers at home then he gets put in one just before leaving your house and she can keep him in them until she sees fit.

I get that she wants him to do it at home and for her, but why make your child go backwards??? I have a little here who is the opposite...will do it at home but refuses to even try here...so she stays in diapers here until she is ready to do it here and at home she is in underwear...

Kangaroomama I have tried everything with her as well. I don't give candy as rewards but use sticker books and other items to encourage them to try. I won't force them either. If she flat out refuses then that's the end of it. I won't have a child upset and crying over peeing on the potty. When she's ready to do it here it will happen. I'm sure the parents aren't happy that she won't do it here either since she's so good with it at home. It all takes time and they eventually come around and do it when THEY are ready. I keep encouraging it everyday, but no pressure!
