Potty Accidents Happen

When working with children potty accidents are bound to happen.

Potty accidents seem to happen at the most inopportune time. At daycare the other day I had a child poop and it fell out of his pants onto the floor. Since then this child doesn't want to poop and will refuse to go to the potty. Once he gets to the potty he will at least try to peepee or poop, but will sit for at least ten minutes.

This same child runs to hide when he feels the need to poop. I have had many children in years past do the same thing, and what I have learned is once a child goes through this regression phase he will usually start using the potty and never return back to diapers or pull-ups.

After a child goes through the regression phase most parents can put their child into "big boy/big girl" underpants and the child will feel proud.
