What are your steps for working with a kid who is actively potty training? I have a 2 yo dcbs who will be 3 in September. He uses the potty frequently. He can manage his pants just fine, sit himself on the potty, wash his hands, everything just fine. He probably goes 3-5 times a day here. But....his pullups/diaper is almost always wet when he goes. And he poops in his diaper almost every morning. So...
I've just been letting him use the potty as frequently as he wants to, but checking for poop before I allow him to enter the bathroom. Learned that lesson the hard way. He wants his privacy & I've seen that he can handle the basic bathroom routine himself now so I stay close by the door to offer assistance, but let him do his thing. One problem...he keeps refusing to put the clean pull-up back on. He is very vocal that he wants underwear & isn't wearing a diaper. I told him that when he keeps his diaper lean & dry all day long then he can wear underwear here, but not until. However I have to check him at the door every time b/c he consistently puts his pants back on w/o the pull-up. One day I changed him 10 minutes before pick up. He pottied immediately after that & didn't put the pull-up back on w/o me realizing it. Got a call from dcm who thankfully found it hilarious when dcb squatted down & pooped in her yard half an hour later no diaper to be found, but I was mortified that I had sent him home w/o a diaper. he keeps pulling the diaper/pull-up (I've used both) off & out from under his clothes & I find them around my playroom. Any tips on addressing this with him?
