[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And some people are clueless about whether or not their child is developmentally ready for all day school at the age of 3. I think these issues go hand in hand.[/quote] No. It's PK, you Americans just happen to call it "school". Some kids take longer with toileting (which is completely normal for a 3yo), and it doesn't mean that they aren't ready to learn. My son was four before he was fully potty trained (he was on the old side for PK3), but was well ahead of his class academically. You may well say he had a "developmental delay" with regard to potty training, but such pathologization is really not founded in any science, as our pediatrician kept reassuring us. Some kids just take longer, and the range of "normal" is wide. Thankfully, our DCPS was completely supportive, and he never pooped in his pull up at school, so they rarely had to change him. It really was a non-issue with regard to the school.[/quote]
