Toilet training is teaching a child to use the toilet instead of wearing diapers. It can be an exciting yet challenging time for parents and children.
Generally, it is acceptable to start toilet training your child at 2 years old.
However, it is important to note that the age at which children are ready to begin toilet training can vary depending on their readiness.
There are some signs to look for to determine if your child is ready, such as showing an interest in the toilet/bathroom, being able to follow simple instructions, and staying dry for longer periods.
The age at which children show signs of readiness varies between 18 months and 3 years old.
Remember, every child is different; some may be ready earlier or later than others. There may be setbacks and accidents.
When your child shows some signs of readiness to be toilet-trained, then you can start teaching them toileting skills.
This is so that in the future, as they grow up, they can eventually use the toilet independently.
However, you shouldn’t expect your child to be completely independent in toileting early on.
As a matter of fact, you can expect them to be completely independent in toileting only after reaching a certain age.
Conclusion
It’s important to be patient and supportive throughout the toilet training process and celebrate your child’s successes, no matter how small.
With time and patience, your child can be successfully toilet trained.
