Do I carry on Potty training when we go on holiday?.

A Yes you can carry on potty training whilst you are on holiday. This is because consistency is the key with children. Children like routine and schedules so they know what to expect. Having a routine when potty training is a sure way to success.

That said routines can often be a problem when thinking of going on holiday. Often you will find your toddler will only use the same potty and will only like to use it in the same room. So the best thing to do in this case is discuss the holiday with your toddler and the fact that the potty/toilet can be found or used in different rooms in other places. Explain that Mum and Dad will be using a different toilet too.

Remember to pack your Childs favourite potty and reward system or sticker chart. Stick to the same plan as much as you can. Some children like to have their favourite toy to accompany them on the potty or even to use the potty first. So don’t forget this too!

Once you’re away it might take a while for your child to get used to using the potty in different surroundings so accidents will happen. Remember to be patient and encouraging. As at home if you go out and about take the potty with you. Also take your child’s favorite toy and reward system as you do at home.
