I do not know if they have verified that when in our adult lives there are periods of changes our character changes as well as our rest time, ... This same happens to the children, but with the difference that they do not yet have the tools sufficient to be able to manage them effectively.

Normally when it is normal for daycare students or Early Childhood Educators (or Primary Education if they never attended Infant Education) to express their restlessness, nervousness, and stresses of change with having a bath. We as adults must understand that they are situations not common to them, and therefore, we must talk to them and see what happens to them, explain that it is normal and that as such an accident will have the attention it should. It is obvious that we should not make a spectacle, or drama about the subject, much less ridicule them.

Occasionally, other situations can also affect the toilet: excitement in the game when you are in the playground, nightmares, presence of unpleasant situations like fights, separations and divorces, illness, ...

Many times we think of more students of Childhood Education as mini adults. It is true that more and more are asked for more responsibilities and, at the same time, they are still children and children with very early ages.

"When these things happen, parents should stay calm, as they may also not be enough for children, and they do so as a wake-up call. They are generally thought to be spoiled and challenged, beaten, punished, when it is advisable to speak to them, ask them, listen to them, "advises Astudillo, who warns that neither should the child be blamed. Much less comment on what happened with the whole neighborhood, that creates a feeling of guilt and shame in the minor that in no way contributes to improve the situation" points out Astudillo.

When there are "changes" in their lives, please inform your teachers as soon as possible so that you can start working on possible solutions. Remember that the teacher of your child is an ally of you, is one of the most important pillars of their lives, and with who often your child spends a lot of time - almost as a member of the family. For this reason, we recommend to take away misconceptions about being judged, discuss the changes, and ask the counselor of your school so that you can be offered solutions and/or alternatives.
