My Son Stays All Day At Daycare And Won’t Ever Use The Bathroom Until I Pick Him Up? I Am Worried.?

My son is 2 years old and 5 months, he has been diaper free for a week, his daycare teacher said he doesn’t use potty at school but the minutes I pick him up he wets his pants on the drive home, I am worried why he is afraid to use the bathroom at daycare. Any one can relate? I am worried.

I worked at a daycare. I think the child has to feel comfortable with the teacher. If they dont it seems like they wont go. I had this same problem with my child too. I took him two days out of the week. But I had to actually tell the teachers to take him every hour. That is what they are suppose to do. Some kids at daycare will tell the teacher they dont have to go since they are playing and involved, but the teacher should make them try. At least go in there and try and explain to them the toys will be there when they get back or hold them. Sometimes I have noticed that to be the problem too. Have you tried talking to the teacher about the problem?
Okay- well since I read your other question about the fact that your son sometimes shakes during the day when he’s at daycare only, and you were concerned about that….im going to have to go with your son is miserable at daycare. He’s shaking at times, probably just scared of being away from you since its only 2 days/week and is not being given enough time to adjust to the people around him there, and he’s holding off going to the bathroom, because he is obviously scared.
Please dont take this the wrong way, but with these two signs from your son ONLY at daycare- dont you think you should look into the daycare or talk to some of the other parents and see if anyone has ever had a problem there?
I can tell you personally that my son did this too. His thing though was he couldn’t or wouldn’t poop at school. Try going into the daycare bathroom with him to show him it’s okay. It’s worth a shot.
I was going to say your son could be holding it because he’s too shy to ask to go or because he’s too busy having fun to want to go but given your other question says he’s ’shaking’ at daycare…it’s obvious your son is so scared he is trembling….do him a favour…don’t take him back there for even one more day….your son comes first and something is not right. I’m speaking to you as an experienced mother….it bears repeating-something is wrong at that daycare and it’s scaring him…don’t let him suffer….act now!
