“Potty-training” or “toilet-training” refers to teaching your child to recognize their body’s urges to urinate or have a bowel movement and use a potty or toilet appropriately. There is no specific age when your child is ready for potty-training but most children begin to be able to control their bowel and bladder between the ages of two to three years. The average age of toilet training is 27 months.
Your child will let you know when he’s ready for potty-training. Look out for the following signs he may be ready:
There are many approaches to potty training. Parents should be consistent with their approach and understand that there will likely be some challenges. Every child learns at their own pace.
Every new skill your child masters is a step forward in their incredible development.
Diaper rash is a sign your baby's skin is a bit sensitive and needs a gentle touch.
Tummy troubles in kids might just be growing pains or a sign to slow down and rest.
The adventure begins when your baby experiences the tastes and textures of solid foods.
