There's no reason a normal, healthy 3-year-old can't clean up his own poopy diapers/underwear. I think they can, but they don't do a very good job of it. The poop would end up everywhere and the kid would stay so unclean. DD is 4 yo. They make the kids wipe their own bottoms at preschool. She does it, but she doesn't get clean. Her bottom is so raw sometimes. She's made some accidents in the bathroom which she tried to clean up herself. By the time she's done, I have a bigger mess to clean up. I'm sure they won't do a good job of it if they're left to their own devices. The first several times it happens, you stand over them, giving step by step directions on exactly how to clean up. Depending on the child, this might include getting in the tub and washing off there. Clisby |

My kids are responsible for cleaning up their own spills, but I still come back later to get it really clean. As much as they try, it's just not good enough. The idea of poop accidents not being cleaned up good enough kind of grosses me out. I'd really rather do it myself. |

I have a friend that does a number of questionable things... in the past and now. snip She said that he's going to be 3 in September and that 3 is too old for her to change his diapers. She is set on having him completely potty trained ASAP because she's not going to change his diapers come 3. There's a number of things she does (or doesn't do) that really doesn't sit well with me. This isn't a question about friendship and dropping her as a friend or not, it's more of if I'm out to lunch on this one, and if I am, then I'll let it go, but if not, I do feel that I will end up saying what I really think about it fairly soon. To me, this almost sounds a bit abusive. Well, I think your friend is totally out to lunch. Barmy. Bonkers. Truly -- I think she is mentally ill. Who told her that kids are all fully toilet trained at 3? They just aren't. Gosh -- mine hasn't even started TTing! Now I also suspect that your telling her that the rest of the world is right and she is wrong about TTing won't go down well and she won't listen to you -- but you are the best judge of that. Maybe you could encourage her to take her boy to the doctor -- hint that there are some very serious conditions that mean children aren't toilet-trainable, and what if he has one of those? The other thing is that I think your friend should be encouraged to see the Dr for her own sake. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) http://chookiesbackyard.blogspot.com/ |
