[quote=Anonymous]I talk to the parents (in a share) about introducing the potty to my charges (19 mo and 20 mo). When I say introducing, I mean showing them the potty training seats, reading potty books and have them sit maybe once or twice a day, with no expectation of them peeing or pooping. So I want to do step by step with them (early). I have tons of potty training experience with children as early as 17 months and have been pretty successful.

Now, one MB says she’s fine with it and it would be great for her child to be potty trained. So I bought potty training toilets. The other MB didn’t say too much, so today I brought in the seat and she goes “I want to talk to my pediatrician, I don’t know anything about potty training” “will she regress at age 3 if she’s potty traininged before then?” I’m thinking why didn’t you express this when I mentioned it, and told her, I don’t have to start with your child but I’m also thinking, you have a baby on the way! You should be happy that I’m ready to start the process! She goes on to say i know you have experience (okay then what’s the problem?) but I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m like did you read anything I wrote?! Im just INTRODUCING! They have no access to a toilet or bathroom all day, so I want them to become familiar with it. I’m not having them go every 45 minutes. There’s no rewards. It’s just introducing and I expressed I DON’T expect you guys to do anything right now, we can all talk when that times comes because when the time comes to get serious, everyone must be involved!

Nannies, what ages do you start introducing or potty training your charges? My background is in daycare and when I was a toddlers teacher and would have the conversation about introducing the potty parents were super excited. [/quote]
