The one that shows having a healthy, developmentally normal child help clean up a pee accident is damaging. I'm ho estly interested. I have never had a daycare child have a potty accident here but I have four kids of my own so a few have happened over the years. I usually say, "Oh sweetie you had an accident. Accidents happen so lets clean it up and move on." It honestly never occurred to me that this matter of fact view would be damaging or shaming.
