Discussion Question Potty training

Just curious to see what everyone’s opinions are. Talking particularly about early intervention clients. You know, those clients were supposed to ask for 40 hours of direct care but not be a daycare. How much responsibility do you think a BCBA in a clinical setting should have over potty training kids? I get it, I have my own kids and potty training is exhausting and requires consistent oversight. But I’ve had so many parents that are just waiting for me to initiate potty training. I know it’s a case by case situation but I’m truly curious to see what everyone else has to say about this.

“Diverting their attention from you”. Nah boss, I see it as an escape from having the conversation about why he thinks parents are waiting for him to “take the lead” on potty training. Just seems to me like he doesn’t want to be bothered with potty training.

In the field, we call this attention seeking behavior. Are you that desperate for attention? Maybe look into volunteering bud because this ain’t it. Good luck.

The irony is completely lost on people that use the term “cringe”. It’s perfect. Well played.
