[blparent] Diapering and Toyleting

[Daniella Roccasalvo]

Hello All, I am in college studying to be a developmental service worker for those who don't know. I was wondering as a parent, how you do some things. While I'm not a parent, and have no plans to become one in the near future, I will be having to do personal care on the people I support. I was wondering how you check a diaper if you can't touch it. Remember I have to be careful what I do because the people I'm supporting are not my children so I have to keep it professional. How do you check if it's dirty or clean, wet or dry. When changing them, how do you do it? How do you clean everything up, and make sure you get it all? Again, due to te fact that I'm working with people that are not my children, I'll be wearing gloves. How do you feel that stuff through gloves? When the child gets older and is sitting on the toylet, how do you know if the pull-up is wet or dry if they can't tell you? If they are non-verbal, how do you know they need to go? Again, when their on the toylet and your cleaning them up, is it the same way as if they were younger? I may also ask one of my college teachers if they have any pointers, but how do you word a question like that? Any help would be great and I would be very thankful. Thank you Daniella
