I am the child's nanny, and this is the first time I have been put so fully in charge of a child's potty training. I have successfully gotten her to sit on her little potty, and occasionally pee in it, but on some days, she refuses to do this, and she always refuses to wear panties or pull-ups. She repeatedly says that she just wants to wear diapers. The child will be three in May, and I have been trying this in earnest for a couple of months, having begun work with the family last Fall. Her training was originally delayed due to a move and to the birth of a brother, and it seems as though we've lost our window of ideal training time. We've tried videos and books; she enjoys watching and listening to these in her diapers and then not using the potty. We are also using a reward system of stickers that is having some limited successs.
Is it ever right to just say, "Sorry, but you are too old for diapers. You will have to wear these panties whether you like it or not"?
