Having a hard time teaching and training a preschooler to poop in an adult way? Contact Amanda Jenner, the first expert potty trainer of Britain.
"It's becoming an even bigger problem, but I'm passionate about making a difference about it." Jenner said to The Huffingtonpost. Now she goes to people's homes and stays up to five nights to train toddlers through her "Potty Training Academy," the Huffingtonpost continued. She charges parents £2,000 to get their kids out of nappies, the report added.
There has been a great increase in number of primary school kids who are not potty trained, as of a new survey. The survey revealed that 70 percent of primary school teachers have noticed an increase in the number of kids aged 3 to 7 soiling or wetting themselves during the school day compared with five years ago.
The reason behind this raise is that both parents now tend to work compared before when there were a lot of stay-at-home moms, according to Amanda Jenner, Potty Training Academy Director, as reported by The Independent. Jenner added that kids now are going to nursery or to child-minders and no one is taking responsibility for potty training them and parent say they expect the nursery to do it, while the nursery thinks the parents will do it.
Kids are the most affected victim of lack of proper potty training and not just parents. In fact, it has such a huge effect on the child's life as they can't go to sleepovers, they can't spend time with their friends, and they are worried about going to school, Jenner told the Mirror.
Jenner got her first encounter of potty training issues with her own kid when her eldest rejected to utilize any toilet other than their own potty, and so she was obliged to carry it everywhere she went, as of a post in the Mirror. Then one day, Jenner was inspired to devise a portable, tidy toilet she called "My Carry Potty" which parents can easily carry around and can even send with their children to school, according to The New York Post.
Meanwhile, Jenner said that in the 1950s the average age at which children were potty trained was 15 months, as they always had family members with them, according to the Mirror. Today, however, as parents have to work and the care of children is just left to a mixture of nurseries, parents and often nannies, the average age now is three-and-a-half.
