When you start potty training, let your child's teacher or caregiver know. Potty training requires all-round support and will not work if you're only potty training part-time. Be sure to share your child's potty training routine with anyone who cares for your child whether at a daycare or grandparents. This will prevent your potty-training routine from being disrupted.

Things to consider:

• Explain the potty training schedule and what works for your child
• Share the language you use and the tone you take when referring to pee and poo and accidents so they are on the same page. If others express disappointment when your child has an accident, he/she may be reluctant to continue potty training at home.
• Take a potty with you which your child is comfortable using
• Pack extra clothes and shoes in case they have an accident when they are away from home
