Potty Training Questions?
Favorite Answer
I make him go before we leave the house.
As soon as we get to the school, I make him go again.
I also remind him about 20 times per day that he has to use the potty in school and he can tell his teachers if he needs to go.
The teachers also have potty breaks scheduled every 2 hours or so. So he goes at home at 8:45am. Then he goes when school starts at 9:20am. Then the teacher has the whole class go at 10:15am. Then the teacher has the whole class go at 12:00pm. Then I pick him up at 1:15pm and he goes again.
If your son isn’t going on his own, you can ask the teacher to make sure he at least tries every hour or so. Teachers would much rather remind the kids to go than have to worry about accidents.
If you think about it from your son’s perspective, he has a lot to deal with right now. The sensory input from his new environment is going to take some getting use to and cues from his brain to go to potty are probably struggling to get a hearing.
I was fortunate in that the pre-school were good about it and just asked me to pack more changes of clothes and got into the habit of taking him every 30 minutes or so. It all settled down eventually and he reverted back to where he had been. I hope your preschool is being as understanding!

He also could be nervous, when I potty trained, I used a potty in the living room, where I usually spend most of my time, and one in the bathroom, could be out of sight out of mind.
Or
It could be about control–in this I mean that there are a lot of things that a young child doesn’t have control over, but he has control over using the bathroom or not using the bathroom.
