Some parents boggle my mind

[sunnydays]

Reggio, what would you do with a 2 1/2 year old who is fully trained and in underwear at home (has been for months), but refuses to go at daycare? I ahve tried everything and this little guy won't even try and gets very upset if I try to push at all. Incentives haven't worked either. Would you just wait it out?

... Would you just wait it out?

Yup - I do not push I do not want CAS being called on me cause they hear kids screaming from my bathroom windows, do not want to deal with an accident falling off toilet or what not .... if a child will not willing sit on the potty you cannot FORCE them ... IMO parents need to work with you to find some way to motivate him to pee in program as well as at home since he obviously has the 'ability' and is just choosing NOT to for you and I would not agree to anything that REWARDS him personally cause I do not think children should be 'bribed' to do something that is an 'expected human behaviour' so I would approach it from the this is an 'expected behaviour' and if you do not do it than XYZ will happen and have it be a natural consequence of his choice not to use the bathroom .... aka his new toys and entertainment budget will be rerouted to keep paying for diapers in your program and he LOOSES out on these things at home, children who are in diapers are not allowed to engage in 'water play' with the rest of the group cause it is not sanitary and so forth so they have to play in water by themselves .... those should all be natural consequences and motivators for a child that age?
