The only stipulation I have is that potty training is carried out when I & the parents feel that the child is ready for the next steps towards independence, not because the parent is fed up of paying out for nappies or because a grandparent is giving them earache about what they did in their day! It does have to be a joint decision as sometimes I don't mind staying home and missing toddlers but if I had planned a trip out then I wouldn't want to be potty training.
