Kindergartners In diapers: A growing trend

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 10/2/2023 6:22:00 AM

Apparently, there are an increasing number of kids, with no physical or cognitive disabilities whatsoever, who are entering kindergarten without being potty-trained. This is hard to fathom. In the past, the vast majority of children were fully potty trained around three years old, give or take a couple of months. However, today kindergarten teachers often report to We Are Teachers that 15-20% of their classroom is not potty-trained, and that even a few first-graders are still in Pull-Ups. (Again, this does not include kids with medical issues, or physical or cognitive disabilities.) Sadly, there is a growing trend of children reaching the age of five without being potty trained.

Not surprised. I just met an 11-year old girl who still talked in "baby talk." She lived in fear of being forced to make a decision, too.

Parents are abdicating responsibility for teaching their kids anything. They don’t teach discipline, manners, responsibility for their possessions, cleaning up their room, respect for others, delayed gratification….why is potty-training special? Parents are not parenting. They’re observing and spoiling.

What we see hereabouts is not "spoiling" but more like child abandonment. The wife of a friend works as an assistant on the bus that picks up pre-schoolers for Day Care. Says more often than not the pre-schoolers appear to have dressed themselves in the morning. Shoes untied and on the wrong feet, sweaters on backwards, sleep still in their eyes and hair uncombed. The result is feral "youts" who carry 9mm guns instead of pocket knives and females having more children with no fathers sending them to pre-school for their "raising."

Any parent who cannot potty train a normal five year old should be ashamed. My goodness, what are these fools thinking?! It is your responsibility as parents to teach your children the basic skills of hygiene. This is not rocket science. This is laziness and abdication of parental responsibilities.

My Great-Grandson, who is Three, just started Pre-School. It was Required that ALL Kids be Potty Trained! So, maybe the Schools should think about doing the same. It takes time, and a lot of determination to get Children out of Diapers. I guess some Parents just can't be bothered, so they send the kids to School and expect the Teacher to do the work for them!

At the school where my wife worked many years ago, the lady Principal would immediately send such kids home. Her response to parents, "We don't change diapers." Besides, such kids will just be made fun of by the others, which would bring about MORE infantile behavior from the parents against the school.

Daisy Mae…..I taught school (years ago) and we called all new kindergarten parents into school the year before school started and we told the parents…they need to know their full name….and be potty trained ….shot records as well as a few other things. If they were in the district a year before kindergarten, they were contacted. But since I left teaching it appears that some districts have fallen down in this area. Also, we must take them if they show up at school and now live in the district.

Waiting for the Democrat's bill introducing government-funded potty training in Kindergarten, claiming it's a "right." If children can change their sex on whim, why shouldn't they demand to soil themselves into adulthood with congressional support?

I am sorry to say it but this is what happens when people who shouldn't become parents, become parents. This is also an example of why those with $$ tend to pull their kids out of public schools and pay for private school. Public school teachers end up spending a lot of their time struggling to manage children with behavior issues or "special needs" and while some of that is just a bad-luck genetic dice roll.... some of it is DEFINITELY due to bad (non-)parenting.

Best book I ever, ever read: Toilet Training in Less Than a Day: Nathan H. Azrin, PhD and Richard M. Foxx, PhD, (1974). It took my child less than 15 minutes, and his cousin the same amount of time. I bless the name of my MIL who gave me the book. The writers intended for the book to be of great help to mentally disabled children. It sailed off the book store shelves. MIL heard about the book on Phil Donohue's show. Yea rah, Gladys. Yea rah, Phil.

Never had a problem changing baby diapers no matter how messy, but a 5 year old? That's a serious diaper. I could never control the gag reflex on one of those. It is such a disservice to the child, what are they supposed to do? How can ANY parent let that happen? Also...I've never seen it personally but when did "pooping" in public get to be acceptable enough in some cities that, rather than enforcing the law, a city takes the time, trouble and money to print maps of the worst areas?

One more step towards having to begin the rebuilding of Western Civilization from scratch. On the bright side, there will be new fortunes to be made by those who make the important advances that marked the first rise. How far will we regress, though?

What?! Why are they crippling their children for life? Mine were potty trained by the time they reached 3. If nothing else they get tired of sitting in poop and smelling nasty. And pull ups should just be a tool to help in certain situations, we used them at night (or on long car rides) to prevent accidental wetting, not a substitute for real undies. Our little girl was a bit afraid of the big people potty as it was so tall and the opening was so big so we got a toilet seat with a built in toddler seat that folds up and down. It really is one of the best inventions ever. We just kept a step stool by the toilets she used and she learned to put her toilet seat down. Made potty training a piece of cake! The hardest part for my wee ones is pulling their pants and undies back up correctly.

Forgive the second post. Another reason we were always thrilled when potty training was complete was diapers are EXPENSIVE so I do wonder if these are "parents" who receive free diapers from welfare programs and don't care about the cost. Most young couples with multiple kiddies in diapers are thrilled to finally get rid of that expense and the lugging of the dreaded diaper bag. I always loved getting back to my purse!!

My mom taught my sisters her fail safe method of potty training. She took each child to the store and let them pick put thworown "big boy" or " big girl" underpants, usually with Barbie, Superman, Little Mermaid or some other cartoon character. These were not training pants either. They were the regular undies that big kids wear. The children were so afraid of soiling their new special undies that they basically trained themselves. Pf course their was an occasional accident, but for the most part, this method worked and worked quickly and always before the child turned 3 or 4. Some parents are just too lazy to do the hard and messy parts of parenting.

This doesn't surprise me. You have bad parents who breed bad children. Who themselves become bad adults. Who folks like me have to deal with in the work force. Parents are the first line of defense for their kids. We must teach them the aspects of life progression. That includes potty training in a timely manner. Good responsible parents know this but like I said so don't. That's why we have this growing trend.

Why Does Dan Crenshaw want to kill Tucker Carlson? 7 replies

Last week Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was interviewed by British journalist Steven Edginton of Britain’s GB News. After the conversation, Edginton mentioned Tucker Carlson, which caused Crenshaw to say the following that was captured on a 'hot mic.' “We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” referring to the exchanges he and Carlson have traded online, “If I ever meet him, I’ll f*cking kill him.” GB News on X posted the exchange, but the post was eventually deleted. Another X user, perhaps anticipating the deletion of the clip, reposted the video. Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asked Crenshaw whether he had threatened Carlson, Crenshaw attempted to ridicule the premise with "Lol, no.”

Poor retired General Mark Milley. In Mark Milley: pardons and mutiny and in General Milley may face consequences after all, I noted Milley appears to have violated multiple articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). One—mutiny—carries the death penalty. Fortunately for Milley, Joe Biden’s handlers gave him a preemptive pardon, so no Leavenworth or death. But for someone like Milley, there may be a worse fate. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered a review of Milley’s rank; he could lose a star in retirement.

On January 22, in Mark Milley: pardons and mutiny, I argued a case against General Mark Milly for mutiny, which carries a penalty up to death.

Within moments of returning to the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump got to work signing a flurry of executive orders. One of them is focused on "protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other national security and public safety threats." "It is the policy of the United States to protect its citizens from aliens who intend to commit terrorist attacks, threaten our national security, espouse hateful ideology, or otherwise exploit the immigration laws for malevolent purposes," the order states. That's bad news for pro-terrorist visas holders causing trouble on college campuses by advocating for terrorist organizations like Hamas.

While it’s true pardoned members of Joe Biden’s crime family can be interviewed by the FBI, and lying to an agent is a crime, they don’t have to speak with federal agents. It’s equally true they can be subpoenaed by Congress and may be prosecuted for perjury, but I’m quite sure that like James Comey, Christopher Wray and a variety of other swamp dwellers, they’ll suddenly develop very bad memories. It’s equally likely Former General Mark Milley, also pardoned by Biden’s handlers, will suffer memory loss. There is, however, one consequence, small for most Americans, but large indeed for a perfumed prince of the Pentagon:
