My first thought was "oh my kid's preschool did this". But then I read the story and it was meant to punish and shame the child.
When my kids were in pre-K and they had an accident, the teacher or assistant would help them change and clean up the accident...something they did together. It was done with a light heart and I saw it happen more then once and it wasn't punitive at all. It was teaching life skills.
I will say, the other kids didn't bat an eye if a kid had an accident. At 4 years old, accidents at school were still a part of life...so I don't know if the other children would add to the shame of the girl. But the method in this story does seem punitive, which isn't appropriate for any 4 year old (even if they had a habit of it).
