We lost my daughter's preschool spot. They called two weeks ago and said if she's not trained by June, they're giving it to the next family on the waitlist. That's a few months away. But we've already missed this deadline in September last year. — Like we had her enrolled for last September. Paid the deposit in March. Got all the paperwork done. Bought the supplies. Then in August they said she had to be fully trained. No diapers. No pull-ups. It's a licensing thing. I said we were close. They gave us until September 1st. We didn't make it. They gave our spot away. Emma cried when I told her she wasn't starting school. I cried after she went to bed. So we got on the waitlist for this year. A spot opened up in June. They said we could have it if she's trained by August 15th. "We can't make exceptions this time. She needs to be fully trained or we move to the next family." And I'm sitting here thinking we couldn't do last year. How are we supposed to do it this year? — My husband said "what if we just find a different preschool?" But we can't. This is the only one near us that fits our schedule. The next closest is 40 minutes away. And their waitlist is two years long. If we lose this spot, Emma's not going to preschool this year. Maybe not next year either. So yesterday I was in a Facebook group for parents. Someone posted asking for help with a preschool deadline. And one of the moms commented "we had the same thing. Two week deadline. Thought we were screwed." She said what finally worked was switching from diaper to training pants that actually create sensory feedback. She said her pediatrician explained that diapers absorb too fast. Kids can't feel wetness. So their brain never gets the feedback it needs to learn. "We spent months trying rewards, timers, everything. None of it worked because she couldn't feel when she needed to go." She said once they switched to training pants that let her daughter feel it, she trained in 10 days. The brand was UpAiry. I looked them up. "Had 3 weeks. She trained in 2." "This is the only thing that worked. She starts preschool next month." I ordered them without hesitation as a last ditch attempt. — When they arrived I put them on Emma. I said "these work differently. You're going to feel it when you pee." First day she had five accidents. But she noticed every single one immediately. "Mommy, I'm wet." Day three she stopped playing. "I feel something." We went to the bathroom. She went. "I felt it before it happened." Week one she was telling me before most accidents. Week two, making it almost every time. Yesterday, day 16, she stayed dry all day. Told me three times she needed to go. No accidents. — This morning I called the preschool. Said "Emma's fully trained." The director said "wonderful. We'll see her on the 22nd." Tonight Emma's picking out her first-day outfit. She's so excited. Last night my husband said "I thought we were going to lose it again." I said "me too." If you have a deadline and you're running out of time, this is probably why nothing's working. It's not about trying harder. It's that they can't feel the signals in diapers. And without feeling it, they can't learn it. We spent months trying everything when she just needed to feel wetness.
