[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all - my DD will be entering PS in the fall.  She is close to the cutoff so on the younger side.  She is doing pretty well with potty training, but I want to make sure that we have her fully prepared.  She will be going to Inspired Teaching.

- Currently she is wearing underwear most of the day and rarely has accidents, and in the next two weeks we will be cutting out pull ups for nap time and outings (most of the time they are dry).  
 - However, she needs to be prompted to go to the potty, probably on an hourly basis.  If she is into playing with something she will not stop and tell us she needs to go.
 - She doesn't want to poop on the potty.  We will be working on that one the most.
 - She is fine wiping for #1, but not for #2 (since she rarely goes in the potty).
 - She has trouble pulling her underwear and pants up in the back.

So I guess my questions are, how often are they taking these little ones to the potty?  And are they going to help them get their pants back up?  I KNOW we need to fix the poop issue. TIA![/quote]

This is the OP.  I don't know if this is at all helpful for future parents (for borderline cutoff preschoolers especially), but I was just looking back at this to see the progress we have made in the past month and figured I'd update.

- no pullups during the day now
 - still needs to be reminded to go.  She doesn't need to go every hour though, more like 2.
 - she is pooping in the potty now, we resorted to m & m's and it worked.
 - good wiping for #2 still an issue.
 - is getting better with the underwear and pants.  she CAN do it, she just gets distracted and easily frustrated (what 2 year old doesn't?) with it and sometimes tries to give up

I guess things are moving along.  I don't think I can reasonably expect her to be great at wiping for #2 by the time school starts but we are trying.  I am still pretty worried about her needing to be reminded.  I don't know if I should just stop reminding her altogether and let her pee herself all day to get the point that she needs to consciously decide to go on her own (consistently).  But most days there are no accidents.[/quote]
