Potty training trouble?
We have a daycare and one of the boys(will be 3 in august) is starting to be potty trained. The thing is is the mother is bothered by his lack of interest. But this little boy refers to himself as a baby. His mom still gives him a bottle before bed, she lets him carrie a blankie everywhere that she kinda forced on him. He is also rocked to sleep. His mom talks to him like he's an infant. He is extremely babyed. It's her last child so I know she wants him to be a baby forever but because of her babying he is behind. How is she supposed to potty train him if she treats him like a baby? I'm tired of hearing her complain also I think she is pushing him to much.

My son's daycare has The Potty Stool and he did so well with it that I have one at home as well. The Potty Stool. http://www.thepottystool.com/ really helps boys to learn to pee standing up so they can see what is happening and connect the sensations. With The Potty Stool, boys can use the toilet standing up.
Daycares have been using this for both trained and untrained boys and girls.
I like that I don't have to use or clean a floor potty and I love that my kids are safe and never have to touch the toilet with their hands! It cuts potty training in half because they do not have to be retrained to start and stop using a potty.
The best part is that kids use it for years and it is super sturdy and durable. Hope this helps you.
you need to band bottles blankies pacifiers and anything else that associates a little boy with being a baby if only in your classroom and then maybe when he see's that he is a big boy and use that word all the time in school and the other big boys are all using the potty he will get into it and of course at home it may take longer because of the mothers actions but that is on her do what you have to do at the daycare
You can't control decisions she makes for him at home but you can introduce potty training to him at your daycare. Treat him like the other 3 year olds and he'll stop acting so babyish when he's in your care anyway. Let him come into the bathroom when other toddlers are going potty. Tell him that he's a big boy and should go potty too.
Is he language delayed? Does he understand and speak language as well as his peers?
If you have starting to potty train him, just practise with him like you did to the rest of the children. Just watch out for his readiness despite of his babying. http://pottysuccess.blogspot.com/
You can feedback to the mother of what you have done or teach her son and the rest by the age of 3. Actually, it's up to the mother. You can only emphasize her to continue potty train her son at home and tell her you need her co-operation.
the babying is going to have to come to an end soon. In my opinion. As far as potty training she has to keep encouraging him and keep trying each day. My son would not for the life of him go pee in the potty.. each day i tried and each day he sat there for an hour and didnt pee. One night he sat there for 20 min and then he peed.. me and my husband made a HUGE ordeal over it..we cheered; we gave high fives and we let him flush the pee down the big toilet, and wash his hands like a big boy. He loved it..since then he pees (not all the time) but 85% of the time in his potty. patience and persistance is key. goodluck!
Unfortunately, it's her kid. If she doesn't want to potty train him, you can't make her. I agree that this might not be best for him, and 3 is quite old enough for potty training, but my sister was the same way with her daughter. You just have to let her be his mom.
