Parents not parenting

Have you tried directing them to do Parenting things or read partenting books to increase the skill?

Hi, yes I click on the toddler and there is no option to help with blocks or potty. The children have the help with homework but the sim just stands there, These are not new parents so not to do with level.The grandparents are level 10 and they can't help. It's a definite glitch since the patch.

Thanks for your help.

Same here and it’s not just with elders. It’s teens, young adults and adults. And it’s not extended family - the parent cannot teach the toddlers. 

It happens 100% of the time for me. 

This is seriously affecting my gameplay because I’m doing a 100 baby challenge.

Toddler interaction is not working properly after the latest update. I have installed the latest update and the latest ep. When I try to teach toddlers potty or blocks, the parent teaches them for a few seconds, then walks away and does something else. I then click on the toddler to get my parent back teaching them but the option to teach is no longer there even though the toddler is still learning the skill.

This one is sad, I find it a pain to teach certain skills to Toddlers, but this bug is making it worse!

The case is simple, any adult who tries to help the toddler in any way while it uses the 'Tiny Teacher Nesting Blocks' will fail at it, the action queue for it will vanish as soon as it starts, and if you try to do it manually, the actions are wrong!

If a toddler is learning to spell words with the blocks, adults will be presented with "Teach (name of toddler) to Build Tower" when you click the blocks

If a toddler is building a tower with the blocks, adults will be presented with "Teach Spelling to (name of toddler)" when you click the blocks.

The screenshots included show the blocks in question, and what happens when I ask the mother to help the toddler, The toddler is stacking blocks to build a tower, but she can only "Teach spelling" when the toddler stacks.

Me too! My sim had already 61 children and everything was working fine until the new update. I hope they address this issue soon. 
One thing I noticed: toddlers will gain the skill as fast as if the adult/elder would help them - even if they fail to assist due to the bug.

Same issue, after the same patch. Also never used mods.

[JulietJuly22]

Same issue. Also all age groups/household members. The caregiver will take the toddler to potty and then walk away. There is then no option to go potty train from the caregiver menu, nor for the toddler to "invite to potty train" from their menu. Identical issue with the blocks. They'll start, stop and then can't go teach the toddler and the toddler cannot request help.

Also having this one. My matriarch was helping potty train like normal, and then straight out walked away when the toddler wasn't done yet.

Same here, even the toddler can't acomplish the traditions of the holidays.
