She has a simple approach – loads
the kids up with liquid and sets the timer to buzz every forty minutes. If the
timer goes off every forty minutes it means the lady does leave the house. The real
challenge would be to potty train a kid on the go.
Why, parents know that sometimes it takes
forty minutes to get a fidgeting kid into a snowsuit. By the time she’d dress
them in their snowsuit, gloves, hat and boots, her forty minutes would be up
and she’d have to undress them. They won’t have time to make a snowball… but
they may make the snow yellow.
Sometimes it takes forty minutes
to pack the car for a trip to Grandma’s. By the time she’d pack the baby bag,
high chair, toys, portable crib, stroller and play pen, her forty minutes would
have come and gone.
Some
may question if hiring an expert is a missed opportunity for parent and child
to bond. If a parent no longer changed their kids diaper then they would no
longer see the creamed corn and be reminded of last night’s dinner. If a parent
no longer changed their sons diaper they wouldn’t worry about going blind from
all the times their son squirted them in the eye. You would think a kid with perfect aim like
that would be a natural at hitting the Cheerio at the bowl’s bottom; but they’re
not, which is why you use the gold star reward system.
Recently I found an old calendar
filled with gold potties reminding me of the potty wars with my kids. My oldest
would sit on the potty for an hour, finally stand up, move over and go on the
floor. My son would have preferred to eat the Cheerio rather than pee on it. And
I thought my youngest would go straight from Pull Ups to Depends.
The calendar served as a reminded
that time goes by in a blink of an eye… a dry eye that is.
