I wasn't attacking you. Raising children needs a group effort and if the parents aren't willing there is not much that you can do to rectify the situation. You can try to potty train them yourself but if the parents don't want that yet your hands are tied.

I have been using candy. They have a jar of skittles. They also get stickers. if that isn't working..try for something that they really enjoy.. ie: play time outside, a certain toy to play with, making music w/pans..simple things. |

Never mind I'm done. Saying I need to get rid of them or change them more often sounds like an attack on me. I do change them every hour. I take damn good care of these kids. I should have never posted in the first place. Please don't take offense.....you DID post....now everyone is just trying to "brainstorm" to come up with something helpful....not attack YOU!!!! At least that's what I get out of it..... |

tough love is....tough
you are not looking for the solution...you want sympathy It is not that simple. These kids are like my own. We've been raising them since they were 6 weeks old. We started with them and then they had siblings. We are all they know. Would you fire your kids? You couldn't because you'd still be their parent. And yes I could have them find another place, but is it fair to the kids? They are between 8 months and 3 all 6 of them. They don't know anyone else, but us when their parents go to work. No I want a solution. But fire them isn't an anwser for me. I don't know about you or your heart, but these kids own my heart. I have watched them say their first word and take their first step. I've helped teach them their colors, their abc's and numbers. When you get attached to a child you can't just say leave my life becaues you have a problem. You find a way to fix that problem. |

Honestly? You need to decide what your priorities are. I'd start by calling the pediatrician for advice. Hint: They'd have on record the situation.
I'm so sorry the parents don't love their kids enough to say no. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. The parents sabotage you and you're stuck. |

I should have never posted in the first place. Don't take anything as an attack. This is a serious problem. But, it isn't really the kids' fault. All you can do is be tough on the parents, and as hard as it may be, suspend the childcare. Let the parents clean up the feces for a while. Maybe they will take it more seriously. Then again talking to their doctor may be a good idea. But, don't let personal feelings get in the way of what is in the best interest of the child. It's called tough love for a reason. Having children exposed to fecal matter can lead to life threatening illnesses! You can't allow this to affect the other kids. Suspending daycare until this is resolved may be your best option unfortunately. Especially if others are picking this habit up. You could be accused of child endangerment, you have to take care of this, even if it hurts you in the process. If anything, Explain the situation to Family services, they will more than likely help in some way. All you can do is what will be best for the kids. Potty training isn't going to work if the parents don't do it at home. I'm sorry, but this is the reality of the situation. |

well im a teacher and an expert in early child hood development. (not that it matters i just wanted you to know that i new what i was talking about) the little girl molly started doing it cause shes a creative thinker. She uses her smell touch and sight to view the world and poop is a stimulant to all all 3 of your senesess so she thinks its the best thing in the world. Just get her some playdo with bright colors and if you can find it make it the scented kind and she will weed it out herself. O and her causin is just doing what he sees her do. That's all you'll be ok. :) Potty training is really a job for the parent cause it takes a certain level of trust to do that. U should leave the rest to them.
