TToilet training is done by either habit formation at a very early stage in infancy, or by cognition in early or later toddlerhood. Habit formation depends on the time devoted by parents & caregivers whereas cognition depends on physical, developmental and behavioral milestones, not age. Many children show signs of being ready for potty training between ages 18 and 24 months. However, others might not be ready until they’re 3 years old.
What are 4 signs a child is ready for toilet training?
Cognitive and Verbal Skills:
Children demonstrate the need to use the potty through verbal and nonverbal language, just like they do for other needs. They learn to follow simple directions like putting toys and other belonging in their right place and reciting their ABCs or other songs. Similarly, they learn to take directions for potty training.
In some cases children learn bladder control first; others learn bowel control before bladder control. Control is generally first achieved during the daytime, well before a child is able to stay dry at night
What time should a child stop drinking before bed?
It’s a good idea to stop drinking 1-2 hours before bed and to always limit caffeinated and carbonated sodas. However, if a child is hungry or thirsty, it is okay to provide small amounts of water & liquids before bedtime.
Remember, a child should never be ridiculed or rushed into toilet training, as it can have adverse consequences.
