Today, many children are regularly cared for by people other than their parents. If your child spends substantial amounts of time in the care of others, it is important that parents and caregivers communicate about your child's achievements or issues with toileting. |

Everyone needs to understand the program, to follow the same game plan, and to keep each other abreast of progress. The child must receive the same consistent message. Having one program at home and another at day care is confusing for the child. For example, if the child is expected to use the toilet at home, but has a potty-chair in day care, the child may not be properly trained on either. |

Some parents put the burden of toilet training on the caregiver; thus, many opportunities for toilet training are missed when the child is with his or her parents. Lack of communication could, for example, lead to a situation where both parents and caregivers incorrectly assume that the child is defacating only while cared for by the other; as a result, the child could develop stool-withholding and chronic constipation. |
