Potty Training - San Antonio,TX

I am not sure other than really praising and stressing examples of potty time. Mommy has to go potty ( then go) or when it has been awhile since he has gone say Lets go to the potty or asking. Morgan ( our 4 yr old) took awhile to potty train since he has a speach delay we were not sure how much he understood or if he could realy tell us.

The thing about school....I just wonder what school it is.
Morgan started Howard Early Learning Center at 3 and 1/2....he was barely barely in his first under pants having just started going on his own. I made sure to ask if that was a problem or how that would be handled it was explained that some children ( boys mostly) take longer and it would not be a problem, as they had a routine....that included a snack time...kiddos had to go potty or try then wash hands and then they were ready for snack time. The preschool should at sooome piont take the kids to the potty to reinforce going....

However, I had called many schools that frowned at th idea of him not being potty trained. I could not help that he was not trained kids learn at thier own pace....

The thing is just to keep trying and do the best you can, eventually it will work out.

i think in the next week, you should stop asking him if he needs to go. let him tell you and don't take him unless he asks or tells you he needs to go. this may mean that he has to get up from nap time to tell you he has to go or you may have to stop when you're out if you let him leave without pottying. if he tells you he needs to poop, he'll tell you when he needs to pee, too. i think if you give him a chance to feel the need, he'll let you know. and don't worry about him holding it, my 3 year old holds it for a long time. i think he must have inherited a large bladder from me. some people just have to go less frequently. so give him a chance to tell you. i think he will. and then you won't worry about him when he's gone to school.

Honestly, I'd either talk to the director about my concerns (the fact that he needs to be asked before snack and nap) and have them agree to this or I'd find a preschool who's more concerned about the physical well being of the kids than they are about avoiding their work.

But then - I'm a teacher, so maybe I'm biased for kids anyway.

They will have a schedule throughout the day and going potty will be on the schedule. It may even be on there as much as every 1 1/2 hours! I seriously doubt he'll have an accident just because he doesn't tell the teacher he needs to go. They'll have him in the bathroom an awful lot, and as long as he goes when he is taken he'll be fine! Don't worry L., he'll do great!

I think you should talk to the preschool. My daughter's school has regular potty breaks, so while not asking if they have to go, they go at regular intervals and she has not had an accident all year and also the regularity at school has helped her develop sort of an internal schedule for going. If they are not having regular potty breaks, I would be concened about the appropriateness of thier schedule for a 3 year old.

OOOps! I think I sent you a response that was meant for someone else.

Sorry,
