[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to help me understand why/how this happens. I am a kindergarten teacher. I have a child in my class who is 5 and not even a little potty trained. They will not attempt to use the bathroom, will not verbalize the need to go when asked, once it’s clear they are soiled they will not acknowledge it. I’ve been teaching a long time but this is a first. 
Has anyone experienced this as a parent? If so, can you help me understand. I hate to admit it but I am losing my patience (internally, of course) with the situation. I’ve spoken to the parents and they are aware but do not seem concerned or particularly motivated to address it. 
For what it’s worth, the child knows how to undress, clean themselves, throw away the dirty items, dress in clean clothes and put the dirty items in a bag to go home. 
[b]And yea, I have other speech and developmental concerns too.[/b][/quote]

Then refer the child for testing. There is probably an undiagnosed disability of some kind. [/quote]
