Four and still not potty trained???
I was on a mission to find the answer to a question about my son touching his "buddy" when I came along post after post about parents befuddled about getting their four or five year old to use the potty.
I must say that I was shocked.
With many parents debating about attachment parenting verses "detachment" parent, my natural response is "How about basic parenting?"
If you sit you're child on the potty, and teach them from an early age that they have no CHOICE but to do what you say, than many of these basic problems wont be had.
I started sitting my child on the potty at 6 months. That's him right there--
Took a while for him to get used to it, but by a years time, he was using the potty habitually and rarely making night time mistakes. At a few weeks before four years old, I proudly return the same "just in case" clothes to Pre-k because he KNOWS to use the bathroom, that anything else is not an option.
It all starts from the beginning and it starts from home.
