Does anyone else feel like it’s becoming increasingly normal for parents to delay or even not potty train? I’ve recently come across several posts on reddit talking about how schools are having to accommodate non-SpED kindergarteners and even first graders who are still wearing diapers and pull-ups.Most of the comments are blaming the lazy parents, who in turn are throwing the blame on COVID and many say they “simply don’t have time as both parents work”.
In the last couple years, every diaper brand has released a larger size (Huggies & Pampers have size 7, Pull-ups & Easy-Ups debuted 5T-6T and GoodNites came out with the XL size) and it’s seemingly become more normalized for even adult women to wear depends and always discreet for periods & postpartum.
It seems like the diaper manufacturers have enough data to justify producing larger sizes, which to me indicates that the trend of kids potty training later is here to stay. I’d love to hear what you all think of this. Do you personally have experience seeing potty training happening later? Will the trend reverse?
