1) Between a teacher and family
I am a part of the morning staff, so I rarely get to tell the parents in person about the day their child has. However, I write detailed daily reports. Since I work in the toddler room, I try to write down every time the child attempted to use the potty, when they successfully use the potty, or even when they have a hard time going to the potty.
