[quote=Anonymous]^ Some People are rude as hell. Fuck them. If you don't wanna potty train your child because he's not ready, then expect to keep him in the 3 year old class when he turns 4.

I say take the opportunity and let the teacher, who is an expert at potty training, give you and your son a head start on the whole thing. The teacher knows what she is doing when she's asking you to send in underwear and she's more experienced at this sort of thing then the average parent. Trying it out wouldn't hurt, would it? It will only lead to more opportunities for your child, who will gain more independence and achieve his potential in a higher classroom, when he turns 4 years old. Just give it a chance.

If you want, tell your son, when he comes home, he can still wear diapers if he wants to but at school he can't. I have a 4 year old son, who was diagnosed with severe encopresis at 3 years old, who is in Pre-K and is 'potty trained.' He has worn underwear there successfully since he was 3.5 years old and never had an accident. The only thing is, when he comes home, he asks for a diaper when he goes #2 (poop) because he is still deathly afriad of going #2 in the toilet. He is very good at peeing in the toilet and is a regular 4 year old kid, with the exception of not pooping in the toilet. Like you're child, he's smart too and we are very proud of him.  Screw the pp that said a non-potty trained child is not smart and the one that called you lazy. Every child is different. Every parenting experience is different. One day he'll be a regular Tom or Joe taking the subway to work or runs his own business. Don't stress it. And take the opportunity to work with the teacher to help your son catch up to his peers. It will only help him in the long run. He will be OK :)[/quote]
