[quote=Anonymous]in my kiddos daycare class (kids are 2.5-3.5), about half the kids need a pull-up for naptime (mine included), but everyone goes to school only in underwear shortly after they join the class. They see the older kids going potty and wearing "big kid" underwear, and they want to do that too.

My kiddo has had one accident at daycare in the last month, and that was during naptime when they'd managed to remove their pull-up.

currently, they are still a little feisty about potty at home, lots of refusals about going before we go out to dinner, so I give them an option of sitting on the potty or putting on a pull-up. About half the time they pick a pull-up, but they still ask to go to the bathroom when out. We haven't had a non-sleep accident or wet pullup in about 4 months, they turn 3 next week.

I have the oxo travel potty in the car (I call it the "adventure" potty), and we have a variety of cute seat reducers, one small ikea potty, and one of the animal-with-ladder seats. They prefer the ikea potty to go by themselves, and are not so much into the ladder seat (haven't used it in a month.) But it helps to give them a choice, so instead of "do you want to go potty or not", it's "do you want to use the bear or the owl?"

I'm surprised the staff isn't very supportive at daycare... is your kid one of the older ones in the cohort? [/quote]
