With Christmas fast approaching there are going to be a lot of distractions for your little one during the coming weeks. By recognizing this now you’ll be best prepared to handle accidents that might arise when you’re at Grandma’s house on Christmas morning. Just because they’re will be a lot of activity and distractions it does not mean that you should ignore the practices that you’ve been working on at home. If you have a potty chair that you’ve been using, make sure you bring it with you and show your child where it is located in the new home he or she may be visiting. If there have been special books or toys reserved for “potty time” make sure these come along with you, as well. If you have been “checking in” with your child after meals to suggest going potty, make sure this same practice is adhered to when away from home. Also, keep in mind that you child might be eating and drinking different foods from their usual diet, and these might contribute to some “off” timing of urgency. Sure, there’s going to be distractions, but now is not the time to let progress backslide in the name of the holidays.
