Potty learning with a 20-month-old takes up the first part of Charlotte Snyder's May 2024 Q&A, including a child who pees on the toilet but still poops in a diaper. Teachers get the middle part, with teasing in class and a child who leads others. There is also a 20-month-old who won't wear a bib, and setting up bedrooms and toys for a 2- and a 4-year-old.
