Learning and Lying • Phil Foden

Child/Parent Prompt List • Number 10

“Look what I did in the potty!”

“Look what I did in the potty!” Your child said running into the room, seeming really proud of themselves. You and Phil were in the middle of potty training them which was proving more difficult than you thought that it would be. They had shown signs of being ready for it like taking off their own nappy and asking you or Phil to change it for them but now you were actually training them they never seemed to want to do it. No matter the rewards that you promised them if they actually went in the potty they still wouldn’t go. Maybe it was just the potty, that was one of your thoughts but still, they wouldn’t go on the actual toilet either. They had watched both you and Phil go there just to them where they should be going but still, nothing seemed to be working. Maybe they weren’t properly ready for the potty training yet. That’s what you thought anyway until you heard your child say those words.

Instantly you and Phil stopped what you were doing and made your way to the potty wanting to see if they had finally gone where you had been trying to get them to go for days. Both you and Phil were about to give up on it and then try again in a few weeks when they may be more ready for it but after that call, you may have to rethink that decision. When you made it to their potty you could instantly sense that something wasn’t right with it. The potty that they have was white so it would be easy to spot the colour of the pee and the ‘pee’ was very clear, a little too clear and you knew that they had not drunk that much water to make their pee that clear. There also seemed to be a lot of pee in the potty, maybe a little too much. Something definitely was not right about this.

“Did you really pee in the potty?” Phil asked them, obviously feeling and seeing the same thing as you. The guilty look instantly came over your child's face and you just knew that they had lied to you, you can read them well.

“Why’d you lie baby?” You questioned them. There was obviously some reason as to why they felt they needed to lie and you wanted, needed, to know why. You just hoped that it wasn’t because of how much pressure you and Phil were putting on them to go in the potty. Neither of you thought you were putting that much pressure on them but you never know how the child feels so you just have to hope you weren’t pushing them that hard.

“I wanted a treat,” they said with a frown on their face. You could tell that Phil was a bit impressed and somewhat proud of the lie and how they came up with it to get a treat but you didn’t want your child to lie to you especially not over something so small as peeing in the potty. He probably didn’t want them to lie to him either yet couldn’t help but be slightly proud of this little plan your child had come up with. To be fair so were you but your child can not know this. Both you and Phil will have to watch out as they get older because they will become an evil genius.

“You don’t lie to mummy and daddy to get a treat. If you want one then you ask and then you may get one but you don’t if you lie,” You told your child sternly trying to teach them that lying isn’t the way to get what they want and how lying isn’t the way to go about things. Phil’s small quiet laughs from behind you weren’t helping you much though, especially with the little giggles your son was letting out too.

“How about you sit on the potty, I’ll go get a game and we can play a game whilst you sit there and maybe you’ll go on it and get a treat,” Phil suggested and your child instantly nodded their head starting to take off their trousers and nappy to sit on the potty whilst Phil went to get a number of games. You left the two of them to it, allowing them to spend some quality time together whilst also hopefully getting your child to actually go on the potty.

Phil and your child were sitting in the bathroom for some time playing games whilst your child stayed sat on the potty meanwhile you were getting dinner ready for the three of you. You were getting stuff out of the oven when you heard your son shout excitedly. You hadn’t heard them in a while, usually, there's a lot of screaming and laughing when Phil and your child are together but for a while, there was silence so when you heard your child shout you did jump out of your skin but luckily had already placed the hot pan down.

“Look what I did in the potty!” Your child screamed once again but this time they actually did a wee in the potty. It may seem like a small achievement to most people but to your son and you and Phil, this is a massive achievement. One step closer to being fully potty trained they just have to do this more often but now they’ve done it once it will hopefully encourage them to do it on the potty more often.
