[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been potty training our now 3 year old. She's doing okay at home, we've been in pants and had some success. We still use pull ups when out but she's good and has more success than accidents.

We send her to pull ups at daycre until she's a little more reliable as per policy requirements. However we've found they've been putting her in diapers throughout the day and it's started to cause huge regression back to limited success at home.  How do I challenge daycare about this? [b]Is there a reason they'd be doing this?[/b][/quote]

Yes. The reason is that they are not the parents of the child. They really are looking at their convenience. They do not give a damn. [/quote]

Op here, I did worry this, but I'm not sure how we make their breakthrough. [b]If she's got no consistency  she's not going to succeed.[/b] And we're out of any leave we can dedicate to just focusing on this for a couple of weeks to make that breakthrough. I'm not sure how we can get this done.[/quote]

Yes she will.  I worried about this with my first when she didn’t train in a 3 day weekend.  I talked to daycare about supporting it and they said effectively that she was too young/they weren’t going to help.  Basically they’d let her go if she initiated but that was it.  She was in pull-ups but they were effectively treated like diapers.  They said I could send her with undies over her pull-ups but what’s the point in that?  So I just kept at it on weekends and when she had a whole weekend with not accidents I sent her to daycare in undies.  She had a whole week without accidents at daycare, then a week where she had a couple but they didn’t switch her back at that point and had been good ever since.  Of course it would easier and quicker if they would really help with training but they don’t always and it doesn’t mean your child won’t get it.[/quote]

Thank you, probably also what I need to hear. It's challenging enough with the baby and getting this done, and my wife is away for an extended period with work so I can't dedicate time around daycare days, just the weekends on this. She's trying really hard but as I know 3 is too old and I should have managed to train her earlier.[/quote]

PP again.  I feel your pain!  Both for trying to potty train with a baby to manage and also right now as my younger is at the one-accident-a-day stage and we’re so close to being done.  Potty training can be so stressful, especially when you’re solo with two kids! Wishing you luck; I hope it works out soon.

Oh and one thing I’ve go I’ve helpful with training when you have a lot going on at home: choose potty times and set an alarm clock for them.  Then you and the child don’t have to constantly remember to be checking in about whether they need to go.  On daycare days, I do potty on wake up, after breakfast, home from daycare, before bath, and before bed.  On weekends it’s all those times but also set a timer for 8:45, 11:30, [before nap — doesn’t get a timer but is a situational one we do], 15:00 (aka after nap), and 16:45.[/quote]
