In the younger groups, do all the kids use toilets or still potty chairs? My son uses a potty chair. We just started daycare on the second day. The teacher announced that at 3 years old, a boy absolutely must use the toilet, and standing up. No potty chairs, and sitting down isn't allowed either. My son is afraid of the toilet, even a small one. Of course, I'm working with him on this, but it's not working yet. He can't relax. Plus, at the August meeting, nobody mentioned this. Today he got scared and had an accident. The teacher said he's the only one like that. The others don't have accidents during the day or while sleeping. I feel like a terrible mom. We've seen a neurologist and a psychiatrist. They said he'll mature in his own time, and otherwise, everything is within normal limits. He eats by himself, dresses himself, and speaks well.

kristina So, they told me to throw away the potty. But if there's no potty, he just won't go.

We also had toilets at 3, my little one protested and demanded her elephant potty back. We had a wonderful caregiver who temporarily took the potty to borrow, and after a couple of weeks, my little one agreed that the toilet was more convenient.

Can't relax. Sits down and does it. Maybe she won't understand yet. Well, it's not working while standing.

So there were toilets, but they specifically brought a potty for me, they raised them themselves) especially since the person is adapting, and on top of that, they're adding stress.

Evgeniya They literally told me at the door that he had to and that's that. He's also small for his height. The smallest in the group. He can barely reach the toilet 😄. Everything is new and unfamiliar.

Evgeniya You can ask if you can bring your own potty as an option.

Svetlana Kovshova My older one had them too. But he didn't start using the toilet until he went to daycare.

Oh, you should have done it sooner, of course. I used to work in a nursery, where the little boys would pee standing up in the potty, and some could already use the toilet. I hope everything works out for you!

kristina Talk to the manager. Can she learn to use the potty for now? Surely they'll be understanding, right? You can't just go in your diaper forever...

Svetlana Kovshova I don't think it's a big deal, they'll get used to it. Kindergarten has its own rules. They might be fussy at home, but they can't do whatever they want there.
There will be many more situations like this, where things are one way at home and another at kindergarten.
