[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in the process of potty training my charge. I prefer to use underwear because I have also noticed that he is more likely to request the potty. Is there any reason it has taken a long time? If there is some sort of issue then be sure she understands how this experience will be different than other kids.

At the same time, I wonder if you are slowing down the process. We decided to focus on potty training this week so everyone is staying in the house or close to the house all week. We put him on the potty every twenty minutes. We sing a fun song, I cheer and clap at whatever he does. Giving plenty of opportunities to use the potty turned out to be the key. I got the twenty minute tip from a daycare and thought it was worth trying since they have to deal with it all the time. After just a few days it is becoming routine and he gets excited to go. The only time we use pull-ups is when he sleeps.

If you want to use nanny cam then you need to tell her. Also, if he is using the bathroom then it ail be illegal/disgusting to keep a cam in there anyway.[/quote]

PP, two things. She does not NEED to tell the nanny if she uses a nannycam, although I agree it is the proper thing to do. Also accidents in underwear (and the subsequent shaming, if it happens) pretty rarely occurs in a bathroom. No one is suggesting she put cameras focused on toilets, my lord.[/quote]
