Potty Training Tips: is My Child Ready?

How will I know my child is ready to begin potty training?

This is by far one of the most common questions and concerns parents have when considering beginning their toddlers on toilet training. After all, it can sometimes be difficult, as much for parents as for their children, to take the plunge into big-kidhood. So, what’s the answer? Sooner than you think.

In fact, experts recommend parents begin to potty train their kids between the ages of 18 and 24 months. Beyond age, the most important determinants of when a child is ready is whether or not the child is able to fulfill certain “readiness requirements”, such as being steady on her feet and able to sit on the toilet. Showing an interest in using the potty is another great sign your child is ready to begin.

How Can I Help Ensure My Child’s Success?

This is a great question. Many parents are curious how to potty train their child so that he or she will be guaranteed success. And while no method claims to be problem-free, the good news is there are potty training techniques out there that can make an otherwise lengthy and painful process relatively quick and easy.

In fact, both the Easy Potty Training and Potty Training Basics guides provide potty training advice that is not only easy to follow, but also extremely successful.

And no matter what method you choose, the best and only way to ensure your child’s transition from diapers to the toilet is a lasting one is to be consistent. Your child must understand her days of diapers are over, or she will never grasp the concept.

How Long Will it Take to Potty Train My Child?

This is another common question. For those parents who have tried potty trained before, you might have been intimidated by the so-called “experts”, claiming parents should be prepared to dedicate 3 months to the potty training process, as a minimum.

If that sounds like too long for you, then you’re not alone. Thanks to the potty training methods described above, you can have your child successfully potty trained in only three days!

Just read these parents’ success stories for real-life tales of potty training done right!
