I have a dcg that started in Jan who is 3 1/2. She was potty trained in Dec. So, she came to me in underwear. She is my first dck that is potty trained. (I have my own kids who are potty trained I know I've read on here many times about children who are potty trained and have accidents. Well, this dcg seems to have 1 accident once in a while. She never tells me when she has to go so every 2 hrs I tell her to go in and go... I do watch her to make sure she does everything properly.
Well, I took this child over to a friends house (who is also a licensed daycare provider) to play about a month ago and the child peed on my friends floor. She didn't say anything we just noticed she was wet and had her change. Last week she arrived and sat down to play and just peed on my floor (she wasn't even at my house 15 mins) and she never said a word to me. I didn't get upset and just said that she need to change and that if she needed to go potty she needed to get up and go. Well, today she's napping on a cot.. I check on her (as she's at the end of a open hallway and I can see her sitting on my couch) and notice that she's had an accident (I thought while sleeping)... well I got her up and into the bathroom.. she had woke up and peed and pooped her pants and laid there quietly (oh, and I had checked on her not even 5 mins before and she was sleeping). I don't know what to do.. I've talked to mom and told her if she had more accidents she had to come in pull-ups. When I was helping her change she didn't even say a word that she had pooped!! It was normal BM, too. At 3 do they still poop while sleeping?! When I asked her she said she had woken up... then WHY didn't she just go?! I've told her everyday for almost 3 months if you need to go even while on your cot to get up and go. I told grandma (who normally doesn't pick up) and she's like "well we all had accidents growing up and that's how we learn". I've never gotten mad over an accident.. but I'm a little upset now that I had to clean poop off my bathroom floor and carpet clean where she peed under her cot. What to do? Do I call parents tonight and let them know she needs to come in pull-ups or plastic pants?
YES, I know this comes with the job... I do... I've NEVER gotten mad over an accident with her...
