[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 79927, member: 1233"] I cannot believe the Montessori teacher actually said that! It reminds me of my oldest telling me that "everyone has game system X and is allowed to play games rated mature" when he was in 1st grade. We (Parents) know that these kind of blanket statements are pretty much manipulation or reaction to being guilty of something. Provide wipes, let her know that SHE said it was not a problem to have help with potty training. Providing gloves is a good and kind idea. When my children were in daycare the staff ALWAYS used gloves when changing diapers or helping in the bathroom. (I think it was a health dept regulation). If it is any consolation my son was part of the reason they installed a very high shelf to keep the gloves in the bathroom. He got a bunch and stuffed wet (not peed on) TP in them. Then he and 4 other boys installed the stuffed purple gloves in their flies, with the fingers sticking out!!!! [img]:rofl:[/img] [img]:slap:[/img] Developmentally, the books I read on potty training said that accidents are common in children up to about 8yo, esp in boys. Around age 5-6 they have more accidents because they are in a huge learning leap. They get so cought up in what they are doing or thinking that they just don't register the urge to potty. As for the 2nd teacher, most teachers really need to SEE the problem behavior before they admit they have to deal with it. Maybe a book to send back and forth with comments about her day?
