What Course Of Action Would Be Taken For A Child Entering Kindergarten That Is Not Potty Trained?
I am just curious what are a parents options. i have read that a school will not accept a child into kindergarten if they are not potty trained. in the case i am writing about there are no other ‘issues’, i suppose is the word, with the child. it is strictly lazy parenting. what will the parents have to do home school the child? would this be something social services would look into? thanks for any light you can shed on this.
It really all depends on the school itself. Some children have difficulty through their first few years of school with accidents, so you would think that they would be somewhat prepared for this type of situation. However the child may be placed in a special needs class or something to that effect since they would require more attention that a “normal” student. Social Services wouldn’t look into the situation unless the school or teacher thought it was necessary, and usually it’s paired with signs of neglect or mistreatment. If the child does get into a classroom setting, they will probably learn with the teachers help to go on their own in the potty regardless of their parents lack of effort.
I have found that the best option for the parent and the child is to get the child potty trained. It is a natural developmental milestone that all children need to reach. It’s very important. I would seek out new resources to help get the job done without involving outside people like the school etc. It’s better for the child and the parents.
