At what age should I start potty training my toddler?

The average age to begin potty training is 18-24 months. But every child is different. If your child acknowledges when the go pee or poo in their diaper (like patting their crotch when it happens or saying they're going pee or poo) or show an interest in trying to use a potty, it's probably time to start potty training.

My daughter is 21 months old, and I have already introduced it to her. I have ahd her sit on the commode, although she didn't go she is getting used to the idea that it is okay!

Most toddlers show signs of potty training readiness around ages 18- 24 months, but some children may not be “interested in potty training until they’re closer to 3 or even 4�. There are three different kinds of signals to help you know whether your child is ready- behavioral, physical, and cognitive. Signs of behavioral readiness for potty training include “dislikes the feeling of a wet or dirty diaper�

, letting you know when he’s having a bowel movement, such as squatting down, or if you ask him if he’s going potty, he answers yes with words or a nod. Also, things like being proud of achievements, taking off his clothes (pants in particular), or wanting to learn more about going potty by watching you or practicing are some examples of behavioral readiness. Physical readiness signs will look like regular bowel movements, development of bladder muscles resulting in “’dry periods’ of at least 3 or 4 hours’�

, and being able to walk and/or run. Cognitive (meaning his thought process has been developed) signs of potty training readiness can be as simple as placing items in their correct places, using his words to tell you he has to go or is going, and possibly being able to “hold it� Until a bathroom is available.

Just remember that your toddler or preschooler will know when he is ready for potty training. It should not be a battle, and every time he uses the toilet, you should congratulate him, and make him feel proud for using the potty like a big boy. Sources: “Potty Training Readiness Checklist.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
