Has anyone ever heard of the Scorch? Method of potty training?

Question

This is where if they go in their pants, you leave them in them all day. A girl I know is doing this and we want to know if anyone has heard of it. She says she has researched it, and I can't find it anywhere on search. Not sure if I spelled it right or not. We also think this could be a form of abuse maybe? We are just trying to find it to see if it is real or her idea of potty training. Please help.

I was actually trying to find info on this too. If anyone has any please let me know. I do not condone this method just trying to find out about it. We need to know as we may turn her in.

Answer 1

I have heard of it and its disgusting, any parent who subject there child to this is are very very cruel. Children don't wet and soil there pants on purpose, they need to learn control and leaving them in dirty pants will just make them run into other problems both physically and emotionally. There bottoms will be so sore, how can your friend bear to put her child through this? I doubt she has researched it on any reliable sites and if i come across it i will do my best to have it removed. Please don't do this to your child and stop your friend doing it too. They are children why subject them to this pain and humiliation?

Answer 2

I've never heard of it but I wonder if it's called "scorch" because the child will get a scorching painful burning rash on his/her bottom.

While potty training my son, he would go in his pants and not even tell me. He was actually quite comfortable in wet/dirty underwear. So this scorch method won't work on all children.

I rented a really cheesy movie from NetFlix called Potty Power which really helped. Also, I know it's messy, but they really learn fast about potty training when you let them just go naked all day for a few days. That way they can see when they go peepee or poopoo.

It takes time and children respond much better to rewards than cruelty or punishments.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

I have never heard of that kind of method for potty training. Sounds like that could be a form of neglect to me. I would never leave a kid in messy pants all day. The child could end up with a very sore bottom.

Answer 4

Thats so horrible! I agree that the "Scorch" method is a very, very cruel and lazy style of potty training. It is extremely neglectful to do this to a child. They cant help soiling themselves. Doing this will only hurt the child -- physically and emotionally. Poor baby, I know when my son dirties his diaper and I dont catch it right away he gets awfully red. He's even bled before. He is in SO much pain when that happens! I dont know how she could not feel horrible for doing that! You should definitely inform her of what could happen to him! If she wont change, I'd say report her (anonymously, if you want). Good luck.

Answer 5

That's dreadful. A really bad idea. There are good ways to train kids, using videos they can watch. You need to figure out when kids go and put them on the potty and wait. Like, they usually go right after breakfast in the morning, so put them on the potty then. Your friend sounds ignorant: get her a book from the library and help her.

Answer 6

How Awful!! Exactly what does she think she will accomplish by doing this??? You cannot force a kid to potty train. You teach a child to use the potty. They are going to make mistakes and should not be punished for it!

Answer 7

i would say abuse in fact it think if you called child protective services they would be out there today. that is intentionally giving the child a rash. that is just messed up i think that is the lazy method of potty training.

Answer 8

ya thats abuse, imagine their poor bottom at the end of the day, tell her she needs to stop this, the fact that she doesnt realize that this is not a good way to potty train really scares me!

Answer 9

Now a granny and 70 next birthday. while we had little ones returned interior the overdue 50's/early 60's, there have been no disposable napkins (they began to hit the cabinets around that element yet have been little extra beneficial than compressed cotton wool, i think of) We used a muslin serviette next to the baby's epidermis (extra well-off) and then the terry towel over the right of that. It grow to be general then, as quickly because of the fact the baby's returned grow to be good adequate to "carry them out". So - first factor, off with moist nappy and protecting infant with your hands decrease than their little legs, you held them over the potty. each so often you acquire a wee, each so often not, yet they grew familiar with the belief of the potty. Breakfast - because of the fact the act of digesting stimulates peristalsis - stream of foodstuff - on the instant after breakfast, "carry them out", and intensely regularly you have been rewarded with a poo. etc interior the direction of the day after food. at times while infant starts grunting and going purple interior the face, whip off nappy and carry them over the potty so no grimy serviette. This recurring familiarised the baby with the potty and saved their comfortable epidermis as dry as possible so no rashes. by utilizing the time my daughter grow to be a year, i think of, we had the super jobs consistently interior the potty and he or she knew to ask for it. The day she grow to be 18 months, I took off day nappies for stable and into little pants. She hated urine trickling down her legs and by utilizing 18 months and 3 days grow to be thoroughly dry for the period of the day. won't be able to undergo in techniques while she grow to be dry at nighttime. I used Zinc and Castor oil cream on her backside. desire this enables. the place the books get the thought slightly one won't be able to understand in the previous they're 2 or extra, I have not got any thought; probably written by utilizing a guy!

Answer 10

That's cruel and neglectful.

Parenting takes patience and potty training is part of that.

Just think, if your spouse had a stroke or something and couldn't control his or her bowels, would you let him or her sit in the poop all day???
