Is this a normal expectation?
So my kid will be 3 this month.
He's doing his first summer (day) camp. We need this because of work.
He was potty trained but since school ended he's been having a few accidents at home as well.
Since summer camp started (day camps) the (16yo) mentors were complaining how he's been soiling himself quite often. (about 3 to 4 times a day which is definitely a lot more than what he does at home or what he did at school)
It's only been 2 days and since I didn't know the details, I assumed it was the change in system/schedule something like that.
However aparantly they were expecting for 3yo's to go to grown up toilets all by themselves. They would lead the group towards the toilet room but aparantly they don't check if they have done anything, or if they didn't fall in for that matter.
My kid's bum is simply too tiny to sit steadily on a grown up seat idk what they were thinking?
APARANTLY only 2 kids have this issue. Does this mean that the other kids are holding their pee for the entire day? Are they going on these toilets successfully? I would think that is unlikely, or is it a normal expectation to have? For a 3yo to successfully go to the grownup toilet with no help, no one wiping their butts etc..?
Aparantly it's a group of 70 kids led by approximately 7 teenage girls (or very young looking young adults with very smug faces)
#I wanted to edit
School where I am starts at 2,5yo. Teachers absolutely help with potty and wiping.
My son will go to the potty by himself and does wipe himself (except with poo, which he would absolutely do, but not all too successfully) , HOWEVER, both at home as in school, he has toilets or potties adjusted to his size. He can not sit up on a grown up toilet without help, does any 3yo? So if we are elsewhere, I have to help him onto the grownup toilet and hold him while he does his business. The camp is targeted to kids between 3 and 5, I can hardly imagine there's only 2 kids having issues with that. When I picked him up from camp there were at least 10 kids his size.
