Everything was going well with potty training, but today when I went to pick him up, the teacher told me that he pooped after his nap. I was in shock because we hardly had any accidents at home. Is this disrespectful? Is he too busy playing and doesn’t want to go? Or worse… are we having a setback?
I don’t want to push him too hard, but I also don’t want him to lose the progress we’ve already made. I’ve been told it’s normal, that sometimes kids relax in new environments, but I don’t know if I should do something different or just let time adapt…
I feel this so much. My daughter was fully potty trained at home, but when she started daycare, she had accidents almost daily for the first few weeks. I was spiraling, was I failing? Was she regressing? Turns out, the daycare routine was just different. She was distracted, unsure if she was allowed to go, and just generally adjusting. After about a month, things settled down. Try not to stress too much! It’s a whole new environment, and he’s figuring it out
Oof, this stage is tough. You put in so much work, and then boom, daycare throws a curveball. It’s frustrating because you don’t want to start all over again. I don’t have any advice, but I get how you’re feeling. It’s a weird mix of pride because they’re growing and frustration because WHY is this happening?!. Hang in there
I totally get the worry, but I promise this is so normal. It’s a huge adjustment for little ones! A lot of kids get caught up in the excitement of daycare or feel nervous about asking to go My son did this too, and I thought we were doomed, but within a few weeks, he started going consistently again. You’re not going backward, he’s just learning how to manage in a new setting Give it a little time, and he’ll get back on track!
Wait, do they remind the kids to go? I just started potty training, and now I’m nervous about daycare throwing things off. Does he go at home when you remind him, or is he usually independent? I wonder if it’s just that he’s in a new place and doesn’t feel comfortable yet. Either way, this makes me realize I should probably ask about potty reminders before we start daycare 
Thank you all so much for the reassurance and advice! I think I needed to hear that this is normal and not a total regression. I’m definitely going to ask his teachers about reminders and maybe try a little reward system just for daycare. It helps knowing I’m not alone in this,potty training is already a rollercoaster, and daycare just adds another loop 
. Appreciate you all!!
