even if a child says they don’t have to go, don’t listen to them and take them to the bathroom anyway. children are not fully aware of the capacity (or lack thereof) of their bladders. they just don’t know what they want, darn whippersnappers.

some children may have bathroom fetishes and just want to see what your bathroom looks like. see if they want to take the toilets out for a spin. have them do it anyway if they feel they do not.

to their credit, the layout of this building is a little wonky. the only bathrooms available upstairs are employee bathrooms, so if a client has the urge, they have to travel back downstairs. of course that’s not a big issue, but if a child is decorating your office’s carpet because they had a false alarm that became a true alarm (or if a prenatal client is enjoying some morning sickness), i think it’s fine to send them to the employee bathroom.

aren’t you glad i shared this with you?
