I don't understand what you mean.  Why can't you tell them that?

Did you read the whole post. PP is a preschool teacher. They are typically not allowed to enter the restroom with a child, and therefore can't teach a child to push their penis into the toilet while sitting.[/quote]

I am not a PP and truly don't understand. Why can early childhood teachers change diapers and wipe non-verbal children but not enter the bathroom with a verbal child who could tell you if something inappropriate happened? Or even if they don't enter the bathroom, why don't they stand in the doorway and give prompts?  These kids are 2 or 3 years old -- they need reinforcement for everything they are learning.

Also, FWIW, this topic came up about 6 months ago when we were potty training and a good number of preschool teachers endorsed boys sitting, at least to start.

Sorry for any typos --on my phone.[/quote]
